In this tutorial we will show you how to change objects order in Corel Draw. Tutorial Includes project files.
First, lets create the following objects in the same order: A square, a circle and a sample text
Now, fill each object with a different color.
Move them to be overlapping slightly.
See how the objects that you created first fall under the later objects
Now, lets move an Object Forward:
Select the square with the Pick Tool
After that, choose: Arrange/Order/Forward One from the Main Menu
See how the square comes in front of the circle.
Move the text to overlap both the square and the circle.
The text is still on top of the square since we only moved it ahead by one position
Lets use The Front Properties:
Choose the square again and choose Arrange/Order/To Front One (or just TO FRONT)
Now the text is behind the square but in front of the circle
Lets use the Behind Properties:
Select the square with the Pick Tool.
We will move it back, choose Arrange/Order/Behind
The cursor changes to a large arrow. Click on the object you wish the selected object to be positioned behind, in this case, the circle.
The square is now behind the circle.
You can do it!!!!
