Plot order and splines

I have a problem where draworder is not controlling the plotted output.
The problem is occuring within an XREF. I've set the draworder in the
XREF file and set VISRETAIN to 0 in the sheet in which it's attached.
The problem is a profile spline that is plotting behind a grid instead
of above it.

Also, is there a spline equivalent to turning on linetype generation
for a polyline?

We are using ACAD200 and an HP Deskjet 1220c. I've been off ACAD for 2
years, so things that seem obvious to others in this group will be
brand new to me.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Valerie

 

The only solution I've had,, and a clumsy one.. is to take the hatch,,, or
in your case the grid.. and put it into the main sheet file so it lives in
the sheet file.. then use draworder to ensure it is at the back.. will watch
to see if someone else has an easier solution...
