Layer
Layer Command is by group. It is used to adjust the display level of intersecting graphic objects. Each object SKTOOL has a graphic level; the top of the graphic objects are always displayed on top of the lower graphic objects, so you can use this command to adjust the hierarchy level. The default level of new graphic object is higher than that of original. SKTOOL Layer consists a total of four commands: Bring To Top, Bring Forward, Send to Bottom and Send Backward. To execute this command, you need first select one or more graphical objects on the current screen, and then select the corresponding command in the Edit menu or toolbar menu.
Ø Bring To Top
Execute this command to move the selected graphic object to the uppermost layer of all graphic objects, so that the selected graphic object will overwrite the intersecting part.
First choose an object in several graphs, and then choose Bring To Top command in Edit menu, or command button
