Draw order and blocks

Hi all!

 

I hope I am posting this to the correct board, if not please let me know.

 

After an extensive day looking for what seems to be a simple thing, I am now hoping someone can explain to me how this works.

 

From a retired coworker I've found these blocks and objects(i think?).

 

Here, the left item is a block. When i move it over any other item/line/block and use "bring forward". It covers/hide anything that's behind it.

When I make my own block (white) and use "bring forward". My block comes in front of it, but it doesn't hide what's behind it.

I've tried using hatch with a true color (white), but then I just get a white patch instead of seeing my block. 

 

Does anyone here know what I am struggling with? What is the correct terminology I need to look this up?

If anyone has a video explaining this I would be really happy!

 

 

Thank you very much!

Your corworker's put a WIPEOUT in his block and the variable WIPEOUTFRAME is set to 0.

You can set WIPEOUTFRAME to 1, draw a wipeout in your block, then send it draworder to back.
