Display order

[Anonymous]

Is there a short cut key to send items back and forward?

Also sometimes when I try to send a object to the front it says

"Cannot bring some element(s) any closer, Top Stack Level Reached."

But I can see items are still covering some part of it.

By default I believe there are no keyboard shortcuts.
But you can set up your own in the Work Environment.

If you have reached the top of the stack and other items are still on top then they too are at the top of the stack and the default stacking order will be used again.
You will need to select some of the other items and send them back.

See this Archicadwiki article that explains how it all works.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't it used to be that if what we wanted to move something up in the display order that was already on the top display level, it would still move it up making yet another display level ?

This is how it should work. If we move something up in the display level, it should always go up, automatically creating a new display level if needed.

There is no limit on the number of display levels is there ? How many display levels can we use?

Nope, never worked that way. There's a very old wish for unlimited display order stacking levels, but there is a fixed limit still. Cannot remember what it is, but it's very small.

14 levels according to the article that Barry linked to below.

I'd be easier to use if we could see the "Drawing Index Number" for all elements.
Add it to the "info tag".

I have it in a custom tool bar:

That would be quite helpful!
