PSendBackward

Sends the selected object back one position, decreasing its drawing order by one. Multiple objects retain their stacking order in relation to each other.

Command constructor

PSendBackward();

Drawing order. The first-drawn object on a page (or pages for facing pages) has drawing-order number 1 and is the bottom-most object. The top-most object is drawn last 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 send the group backward, the objects within the group retain their stacking order in relation to each other, but their drawing-order numbers each decrease by one.

Example. The following example selects the fourth object drawn and sends it backward, changing its drawing order to three.

PSelect(4);
PSendBackward();
