Hi



I have multiple layers of objects that are "stacked" on top of each other.   Just as in shape Arrange control you can "send to back" or "send to front" that only work within a given layer.



WHEN I have multiple objects in multiple layers



AND all layers are toggled to be shown



THEN I want to control by "layer" which is on top



 



See below.





Thanks



Dennis

Hi Dennis

Thanks for your post. You can rearrange your layers by switching the order in the Layers panel on the right hand side of your editor. All you need to do is relocate the layers in this ordering and it will alter your display.

I work with a large number of layers in my dwgs. Drag-n-drop altho nifty from a UI perspective can be error prone when "dropping" among a long list of layers. And D-n-D becomes even more error prone when the intended destination of my layer is not in view of the current window of layers: I have to drop scroll down DnD again scroll down... until my target position is in view in the window & "Drop" for the final time). This is both error prone and frankly annoying. :(


Can the workflow for reordering of layers be improved? Please!


I am happy to speak live w/PLM to share some ideas if that helps. 


Thank you.

HI I am trying to display a multilayer (lets say with 5 layers) infrastructure diagram differently depending on the space where it is displayed. For example (layer 1 3 5) in page 1 layer 12 4 in page 2 and so forth.  Can I toggle the display of the SAME diagram in different Confluence pages without having to create multiple instances of the same diagram ?
