The draw order dictates which objects appear in front of which, and is essentially an internal list of objects in your Workspace. By default, all objects are ordered according to when they were created or added to your project — the last object added to your project is the first in the draw order, the second to last added is the second in the draw order, and so on.
The Push options change the order of objects in the draw order. This is primarily useful when working with images and vector graphics. Vector graphics may end up hidden behind Images, making them difficult to manipulate — Push them forward to get them back in view.
Push Tools and Hotkeys¶
All Push options are available in the Arrange Menu or by hotkey.
| Push Option | Action | Hotkey |
|---|---|---|
| Push forward in draw order | Moves selected objects up one position in the draw order | PgDwn |
| Push backward in draw order | Moves selected objects up one position in the draw order | PgUp |
| Push to front | Moves selected objects to the first position in the draw order | Ctrl/Cmd + PgUp |
| Push to back | Moves selected objects to the last position in the draw order | Ctrl/Cmd + PgDwn |
Using the Push Tools¶
Select an object and one of the Push options to move the selected object in the draw order.
If you have more than one object selected, they'll each move in the draw order, but maintain their position in the order relative to one another — in other words, if you Push the third and fourth objects in your draw order to the front, they'll become the first and second objects.
