Working in Autocad 2010, while creating 3d polylines over an attached xref contract
drawing, I clearly see the polylines that I am creating, I save the drawing
and returned to continue working on the drawing at a later date, and now the xref is ontop of my newly created polylines whereas I cannot see those polylines that I previously created unless I unload that xref, Is there a command that tells the autocad xref whether it should be ontop or below the current drawing..? If not any other suggestions..?
Thanks

Go to display options and click the send to back option. Then select the xref, and it should "go behind" your new lines.

JMS66,

You can use Display Order by right-clicking on the XREF.
