+<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id1614734" xml-lang="en-US">The stacking order of objects on your page is determined by the sequence in which you add the objects. You can rearrange the stacking order by <item type="menuitem">Shape - Arrange</item>. </paragraph>

+<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3153085" xml-lang="en-US">The <emph>Dimension Lines</emph> layer is where you draw, for example, the dimension lines. By switching the layer to show or hide, you can easily switch these lines on and off.</paragraph>
+<paragraph role="tip" id="par_id3154507" xml-lang="en-US">You can lock a layer to protect its contents, or hide a layer and its contents from view or from printing. When you add a new layer to a page, the layer is added to all of the pages in your document. However, when you add an object to a layer, it is only added to the current page. If you want the object to appear on all of the pages, add the object to the master page (<menuitem>View - Master</menuitem>).</paragraph>
