Test parcels need to be checked periodically. If there is a change in the kind of landuse (eg. from crop to greenland), the feature needs to be copied and filled in with the new attributes. So at the end I have like in my examples three parcels that have an identical geometry. How can I make sure, that the latest one is drawn on top?</P><P></P><P></P><P><IMG class="image-1 jive-image" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/430499_pastedImage_1.png" /></P><P></P><P>Thanks for any help</P><P>Andreas</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 29 Nov 2018 13:01:11 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/how-can-i-define-the-drawing-order-of-features/m-p/241243#M2569 AndreasRondorf 2018-11-29T13:01:11Z Re: How can I define the drawing order of features within one layer? https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/how-can-i-define-the-drawing-order-of-features/m-p/241244#M2570 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>If new features are added to the file, I would suspect that the last geometry added would be on top of the first geometry added.&nbsp; I think that you want the last added record to 'appear' at the top of the list in your table even though the geometry is on top already.&nbsp; Your 'bottom' is in reality the 'top'.&nbsp; I suspect you figured that out because you seem to have sorted in descending order on the OBJECTID field once you selected the overlapping geometry</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 29 Nov 2018 13:44:49 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/how-can-i-define-the-drawing-order-of-features/m-p/241244#M2570 DanPatterson_Retired 2018-11-29T13:44:49Z
