Z Order Elements

Z Order refers to the sequence in which elements are layered through the depth of the diagram; each element on the diagram has a specific Z-order number that - when elements overlap - determines which elements the selected element displays over and which underneath. You can move an element:

• One place further back, deeper into the diagram
• One place further forward, towards the front of the diagram
• To the bottom of the diagram (deeper in than all other elements in the diagram)
• To the top of the diagram (further forward than all other elements in the diagram)

Access Right-click on element | Z-Order

Select the appropriate option to reposition the selected element.

Notes

• This option enables you to change the Z order of a single element approximately in relation to the rest of the diagram; you can also select the 'Modify Z Order' option from the diagram context menu, to review and adjust the Z Order of each element on the diagram precisely relative to each other element
• On a diagram, you can move the focus from element to element according to Z Order, by pressing Shift+Tab; each time you press these keys, the element with the next-lowest Z Order number is selected
