Sequence in which (instances of) smart symbols are displayed

When it comes to defining the sequence in which (instances of) smart symbols are displayed, various requirements have to be met: some smart symbols are to hide fills and elements for presentation purposes whereas others are to adapt to the display sequence defined.

When defining a smart symbol, you can use the Sequence attribute (Attributes area) to specify the sequence in which the smart symbol and its components are displayed:

• When set to Element, every individual element of the smart symbol is drawn based on the sequence that was specified when the smart symbol was saved.
• When set to Placement, all the elements of the smart symbol are drawn based on the sequence assigned to the instance of the smart symbol.

You can modify instances of smart symbols you have already placed in the workspace using Modify Smart Symbol Instance‘s Attributes.
