To Front and To Back
AVEVA Production Accounting implicitly puts each drawing object in its own layer. That is, every object has a position in three dimensions relative to the other objects and is either closer to the viewer’s eye or further. This will affect how the objects are rendered on the screen when their positions overlap. Closer objects will obscure farther objects. By using To Front, you can force an object to obscure overlapping objects. By using To Back, you force the overlapping objects to obscure the selected object.
