Solid Edge FrameworkSupport Type Library
SendBackward Method
Description
Changes the display order of visible objects by moving the referenced object so that it is in back of the first object behind it.
Syntax
Visual Basic
Public Sub SendBackward() 
Remarks
This command is useful when objects are hiding other objects that have a lower priority display but when you do not want to send the object all the way to the back of the priority list.
Example
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim objApp As SolidEdgeFrameWork.Application
    Dim objDoc As SolidEdgeDraft.DraftDocument
    Dim objSheet As SolidEdgeDraft.Sheet
    Dim objCenterLines As SolidEdgeFrameworkSupport.CenterLines
    Dim objCenterLine As SolidEdgeFrameworkSupport.CenterLine
    Dim objCircle As SolidEdgeFrameworkSupport.Circle2d
    Dim objLine As SolidEdgeFrameworkSupport.Line2d
    Dim lngZOrder1 As Long
    Dim lngZOrder2 As Long
