# DRAWORDER Command [GstarCAD 2022](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2022/Index.md) → [Commands](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2022/Commands/(Commands).md) → [D](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2022/Commands/D/(D).md) ## Function Description: This command is used to change the draw order of images and other objects. Several options are available that control the order in which overlapping objects are displayed. In addition to the DRAWORDER command, the TEXTTOFRONT command brings all text, dimensions or leaders in a drawing in front of other objects and the HATCHTOBACK command sends all hatch objects behind other objects. By default, when you create new objects from several existing ones (for example, FILLET or PEDIT), the resulting objects assume the draw order of the object that you selected first. Use the DRAWORDERCTL system variable to control the default display behavior of overlapping objects. ## Command Access: > **Icon:** / > **Menu:** Tools \> Draw Order \> ... > **Ribbon:** Home \> Utilities \> Draw Order \> ... > **Toolbar:** Draw Order \> ... > **Command:** DRAWORDER > **Alias:** DR ## Command Prompts: Select objects: Enter object ordering option \[Above objects/Under objects/Front/Back\] \<Back\>: ## **Select objects** Specifies the objects for which you want to change the draw order.
