Display Order, Option to place newly created elements on top

Kleopatra
Newcomer

 

When a project uses a deliberately customized Display Order, newly created elements may appear behind existing elements that have previously been brought forward.
This means that a newly created line, fill, dimension, text or other 2D element can be hidden immediately after creation, making it difficult to see, select and edit. The current workaround — manually using Bring to Front after creation — is repetitive and interrupts the drafting workflow. 

I would suggest adding an optional setting such as:

“Place newly created elements on top of the current Display Order”

When enabled, a newly created element would be placed above the currently existing display stack at the moment of creation, while all existing relative Display Order relationships would remain unchanged.

Hello Kleopatra,

 

I would recommend to ask for an option to Set display order level within the settings of the element. I have "inherited" projects that had a lot of elements at the top level and it was a mess to work with.

 

Have a nice day!
