[Solved] Is There A Method To Re-Order Frame Views

Post by mendy »

Was working on getting angle and figured that out. Wanted it on top of View001 but couldn't select the two vertices to add extended cosmetic line.
Determined it was the View Frame. Not a big problem as have two ways around. One is to move View002 out of way and other is in Tree toggle visibility on View002. Like toggle visibility method better as doesn't disturb placement. Question is there a setting to move View Frame position in what I would equate with graphics program move layers? I tend to miss obvious settings sometimes did search for answer with various search parameters and did not find in forums.

Found post that clarified issue for me. Had tried moving in tree and fail. No biggee experiment on copy.

Generally, stacking is in creation order.

I didn't know it was possible to move tree entries about like this, except for into/out of Groups or Bodies.

Can't recommend this practice. When I do it things fall off the page or get corrupted and nasty error messages appear.
