Move the order of layers in vector layers?

Post by hexanite »

I'm trying to draw a character swimming, but the water and the character are in the same vector layer. I accidentally moved the character on top of the water and I'm not sure how to move it back.

1. Why do you have them in the same layer?
2. Select the shapes you want to move, select change in the "Draw" menu.

I agree with Slow Tiger, you should have the water in a separate layer. I would select the character or water and cut/paste it to another layer.

If the water and char must be in the same layer, use Drawing Selection to select the character shapes (use hold shift and mouse over for multiple shapes,) and then use arrow down to send the shapes backward.

Hope this helps.
