Z order of objects on a page

[Crack]

can the chronological order (move forward , move back) of shapes placed on a
page be manipulated via the pages shapesheet.?

I am interested in the 3D dynamic rotation of a visio image, hence the need
to make objects pass in front of, or behind other objects as the viewing
point is rotated.
Where this is done via macro automation it may tend to slow the image
rendering as each increment of rotation must invoke the macro to determine
what shape should be in front or behind another, therefore is it possible to
do this via shapesheet cell formulii ? any thoughts

You can use the DoCMD function to call the same z-order commands that are
available through the user interface.

DoCMD(1045) = Bring Forward
DoCMD(1046) = Bring to Front
DoCMD(1047) = Send Backward
DoCMD(1048) = Send to Back

Note that these operate on the current selection and not necessarily on the
shape you put the formula in.
