Tip : Bring Text & Dimensions to Front

     Consider that the drawing contains a lots of text, dimension and solid hatches and a problem arises that dimensions and text are hidden under the hatches and moreover text and dimensions are in different layers. it will not be easy to bring those to  the front.

The command “TEXTTOFRONT” will make this easy.


Pull down menu : TOOLS => Draw Order => Bring Text and Dimension to Front => Text and Dimension Objects




Command : TEXTTOFRONT


When enter the command line shows 3 options [ Text / Dimensions / Both] 
  • Text brings all text in front of all other objects in the drawing.


  • Dimensions Bring all dimensions in front of all other objects in the drawing


  •  Both brings all text and dimensions in front of all other objects in the drawing.
