Working with Objects 123
Arranging objects
You can change the stacking order of objects by using the Arrange commands or by cutting and
pasting. (The stacking order may not be obvious if the objects do not overlap.) You can integrate
an object into a group or clipping path by pasting the object behind or in front of another object
within a group or a clipping path. For more information on clipping paths, see “Working with
clipping paths” on page 132.
Using the Paste Behind and Paste In Front commands, you can quickly move an object to a
specific place in the stacking order.
The Arrange and Paste in Front/Behind commands apply only to selections on the same
layer. For more information on rearranging objects by changing their layering, see “Using layers”
on page 289.
