Hi Patrick,

I have the same problem but I have worked out a way around it.

Using the Rectangle Marquee select Tool, Drag a box around both
polygons.

Both polygons should now be selected. Now select the Arrow Select Tool
from the toolbar and while holding shift on your keyboard click on the
smaller polygon which is hiding. Now you should just have the smaller
polygon which was hidden selected. Now simply go to edit and cut then
paste. The small polygon which was hidden should now be on top of the
Larger polygon.

I hope this helps. If someone know a much better way to do this. I would
also like to know.

Cheers

Subject: MI-L Overlapping or hidden polygons in the same layer


I want to bring an overlapped (actually completely hidden) small polygon

out from under the larger polygon that's hiding it. Is there a way of 
ordering the laying down of polygons in the one layer?
