Line Drawing behind Text

SC,

If you look at the photo provided you will see two drawing text boxes and then a line connecting them... The line has the same anchor as each of the drawing text, and all objects centered. All looks good, except that I want the line to be drawn BEHIND the text sot that it doesn't cover up the actual text. (For example, on other graphic applications, you would use "Send To Back" functionality.) Is it possible to control this on Sierra Chart Drawings? I have tried changing the order of creation, first the text, then the lines, ... then the other way around. Neither changed the outcome. Thank you.

Changing the order of creation should do what you want. The drawings are drawn in the order that they appear in the Manage Chart Drawings window, but you can not change the order. Another option would be to duplicate the text drawings so the duplicates are above the line drawing then delete the originals.
