A common question I receive from AutoCAD users, both novice and experienced, is the problem of important annotations being swamped by hatch and gradient fills in drawings. AutoCAD by default does tend to display the most recent elements drawing last. Despite some new default draw order behaviour introduced in recent versions of AutoCAD, text and dimension elements can still be obscured by heavy graphics. However, there is an answer in being able to bring all annotations to front. This single command will save users lots of time by allowing them to bring all annotations on top of other overlapping drawing objects within a single command.
To bring all annotations like text, dimensions and leader lines to the front of every other drawing object type TEXTTOFRONT on command line press enter then select All from options.
