Turning on Sheet Effects moves symbols on top of other symbols
Hello good folks!
First post. Been learning solo for 5 years, time to hit the forums to reduce time spent clawing at my beard.
Trying to make a pirate village with bridges between buildings. All is fine until I turn on sheet effects, which moves the bridges on top of all my building symbols.
Example:
"Bridge Complete W" -object from the DD3 -cave- catalogue is placed on the SYMBOL sheet on the MERGE layer by definiton.
"CD3C Orc Hut a 9" -object from CD3 -orc- catalogue is placed on the SYMBOL sheet on the BLDNG (House 1) layer.
All is fine.
Turn on sheet effects, Bridge is moved on top of the orc hut.
Moving both objects to the same sheet and same layer and using the "Change Properties" and the "Bring to Front" commands does absolutely nothing to force the building on top of the bridge.
Please halp!

Remember that symbols choose their own sheets when placed, so just having your new sheet selected won't make symbols go there automatically, they will still go to SYMBOLS. However, if you name your sheet something starting with the word SYMBOLS, such as SYMBOLS BELOW, and keep that active, symbols will go to this instead (Of course, that means almost all symbols, so be careful not having it active when placing symbols that are not supposed to go to that sheet)
Ugh, I've spent weeks on this problem...
Joining the forum was the best decision ever. Thanks for such a swift response Monsen.
