DRAWORDERCTL

Determines whether the draw order of overlapping entities is retained after they are edited. This setting also applies to new entities that are created from existing entities using the following commands: BREAK, EXPLODE, FILLET, HATCH, HATCHEDIT, JOIN, OFFSET, PEDIT, and TRIM.

0 = Draw order is not retained. The most recently edited entity displays on top of overlapping entities regardless of its draw order. The correct draw order is restored after the drawing is reopened or regenerated. If a new entity is created using one of the commands listed above, the draw order of the source entity is not assigned the draw order of the original entity. Setting this system variable to 0 increases the speed of editing commands and may be helpful when you work with large drawings.

1 = Draw order is retained. After entities are edited, they display according to the correct draw order.

2 = Draw order inheritance is turned on. When a new entity is created using one of the commands listed above, it is assigned the draw order of the original entity.

3 = Draw order is retained and draw order inheritance is turned on.
