PBringForward

Brings the selected object forward one position, bumping up its drawing order by one. Multiple selected objects retain their stacking order in relation to each other.

Command constructor

PBringForward();

Drawing order. The first object drawn on a page (or pages for facing pages) has drawing-order number 1 and is the bottom-most object. The top-most object is the last object drawn and has the highest drawing-order number.

A group is considered an object and has a drawing-order number like any other object. If you bring the group forward, the objects within the group retain their stacking order in relation to each other, but their drawing-order numbers each increase by one.

Example. The following example selects the first object drawn and brings it forward, changing its drawing order to two.

PSelect(1);
PBringForward();
