Changing a layer's drawing order
Release 8 E-mail This Topic Printable Version Give Us Feedback

The order in which a layer appears in the Layers section of the Table of Contents corresponds to the opposite order in which it is drawn on the map. Layers at the bottom of the list are drawn first, and the layers at the top are drawn last.

By default, ArcPad inserts point layers at the top, line layers second, and polygon layers third. Raster images are placed at the bottom of the list and hence are drawn first
