Stacking objects
The Adobe Illustrator program stacks successively drawn objects, beginning with the first 
object drawn. How objects are stacked determines how they are displayed when they 
overlap. In addition, stacking is important when you make masks. (See 
.)
You can change the stacking order (also called the painting order) of objects in your 
artwork at any time. By creating multiple layers in your artwork, you can also control how 
overlapping objects are displayed.
Note: Grouping objects may affect the way the objects are stacked in relation to other, 
nongrouped objects in the artwork. (See 
.)
Moving objects frontward or backward in a stack of objects
The Bring to Front and Send to Back commands let you move an object to the front or the 
back of the stack of objects on its layer. The Bring Forward and Send Backward commands 
let you move an object just one object forward or back in the stack of objects.
If the object is part of any type of group—including masked artwork, compound paths, 
text, and word wraps—the object is moved to the front or back of the group rather than 
the front or back of the entire layer. 
To make an object the frontmost or backmost object in its group or on its layer:
Select the object you want to move.
Choose either Object > Arrange > Bring to Front or Object > Arrange > Send to Back. 
To move an object one layer to the front or one layer to the back of a stack:
Select the object you want to move.
Choose either Object > Arrange > Bring Forward or Object > Arrange > Send Backward. 
Pasting objects in front or in back of other objects
The Paste in Front and Paste in Back commands let you paste copies of objects directly on 
top of and behind the objects you select. This is useful if you want to move the copy a 
specified distance from the original location. These commands also let you paste the 
artwork into the same position in a new file as it was in the old file, relative to the page 
origin.
To move an object in front or in back of other objects in the stacking order:
Select the object you want to move. 
Choose Edit > Cut. The selected object is temporarily deleted and is placed onto the 
Clipboard.
Select the object or objects in front or in back of where you want the cut object to 
appear. 
Choose Edit > Paste in Front or Edit > Paste in Back.
