Is there a way to change the drawing order of an extent indicator?

[AlastairSherren]

I have two inset maps (contained within two data frames) within my main data frame.  I am displaying point data with labels in the main data frame and some of these labels and point features are obscured by the frame of the extent indicators: is there a way to draw the extent indicators below the point features and lables (i.e send the extent indicators to the back)?

Did you try reordering them in the table of contents?

I think there no way to change the drawing order of an extent indicator.

but you can draw a hollow polygon with the extent of your data frame after you finish layout,then reorder it in TOC to get your the points above . and don't use pan tool after that.

I've had a similar problem. My solution, in Pro, was to give the extent indictor a coloured fill, set colour transparency to 50% and remove the outline colour.

Map detail, which clashes with the extent indicator, will then show through.

You could try the same with your outline transparency.

Hi Peter, thanks for the advice.  This sounds like a good workaround.
