As soon as drawing objects overlap, one object can partially or completely cover another. The way the objects are arranged will be determined by the order in which they were inserted: The object that was last inserted will automatically be in the foreground, the object that was first inserted, in the background.
Use the commands in the Order menu to retroactively change this order. You can change the order of the objects and move individual objects into the background, either step by step or in one action.
Where do you find this menu?
You will find the Order menu in the Draw menu on the Drawing toolbar, or in an image window's context menu.
