Topic: Draw Order

[wannabe]

Anyone able to enlighten me on the Microstation alternative to this acad feature, please?

Display Priority

(2D models only) Identifies the level display priority value. A level with the highest priority value displays in front, while a level with the lowest priority value displays in back. Reference and element priority values also affect the display.

Key-in: level set priority <new-level-priority [file:file-spec] level-spec>

I have been told v8 2004 has no draw order due to on-screen entity population being in order of creation. Bit of a joke, but the new versions seem to be updated accordingly.

for setting references as a whole we have been told to use Settings>Update Sequence, from the Reference box. The last in the list has the higher priority.

(Hope I'm not off base with this one)

there is also the command:
order element front

on V8 2004 it doesn't really do the trick. Not after you mouse over another coincidental element.

V8i has thankfully improved upon this.
