Region color problems.

In my drawaing, I have a region with orange color. When I embed another
region with brown color on it, I see the orange diagnol (hatch) lines
behind the brown region when I resize the drawing. How can I avoide
this.

Thanks.

I've had that happening with some architectural drawings. DRAWORDER works
well, as well as moving the offending hatch down in the Z axis (the first is
way more easy to deal with down the line...) in fact, ignore my second idea.
I would press backspace to erase it, but it's more fun letting you in on my
line of thought. I'm hungry.

I wrote a lisp that presses all hatches to the back, and brings all
dimensions and leader lines to the front. Here ya go. It won't actually
resolve your problem, but gives you an idea of how to deal with similar
situations. Just change ((0 . "HATCH")) for ((0 . "REGION"))

Thanks Dr Fleau for sharing your knowledge and thoughts.

I figured that if I do the rendering using the Accurender then these
hatches will go away in the final drawing. So I am not desperate now to
avoid these.
