Layers in element editor

Overlaping of parts, graphical elements, may occur at the graphical representation of elements. QElectroTech allows defining the representation order from part. Working with layers will be necessary, for example, when a filled part as rectangle or ellipse hides a text.

The definition of layer level from each part can only be done from menu bar.

  1. Select the part which layer level should be defined.

  2. Select Edit from the main bar and the desired layer action.
