Object order-z problem

Postby meepmeep » Fri Jun 19, 2015 5:57 am

Hi, sorry for my english, I'm french !
I'm a new Inkscape user.
I tried to draw a bicycle by drawing on a jpeg picture imported.
I draw some pieces (parts) but for some of them, it's impossible to move order-z : either this object is front or is back ! Impossible to move just one level.
Is someone can help me ?
Thanks.

Hi.

Probably that's somewhere at the wheel and fork?

For a general workaround, check this article:

Without seeing the file, it's hard to guess what's happening. Have you Grouped anything? If you put 2 or more objects in a Group, it behaves as 1, and you can't move another object between the pieces.

You can attach your file, if you'd like us to look at it.

Hi, I attached my file. I changed some colors to be more clear.
As you can see, I can't move easely the yello, blue and red sticks.
For the front gear, it's the same problem : impossible to move above the red stick...
Where is the problem ?
Just an indication : to the bars, I used the tool bezier curve :tool_pen: tool then "conour to way".
Thanks for your help...

The problem was the red object was on the root layer, while the others on layer 1.


Now they are all on one layer:

All objects were selected, then cut (Ctrl+X) and placed in position (Ctrl+Alt+V).

Sorry, but in your file, I can't place the blue bar in front of the red one ?!? What's wrong ?
Edit : No problem ! I did !
