Print order of overlaid lines

Post by LouiseSJPP » Tue Jul 26, 2022 8:47 am

How do I control which line colour takes precedence when lines overlay?

I'm having problems where I have a layer in light grey (for example) showing hidden detail, which is printing instead of the overlying black line for visible detail.

QCAD 3.27.1.0 (3.27.1), Windows 10.

This is called draw order and is controlled per entity. It is unrelated to layers or colors.
