Bring Text and Dimensions to the front!

The drawing order of objects is very important in CAD drafting. Many times, I have forgotten to bring text and dimension forward before plotting, especially if they are behind a solid hatch. The TEXTTOFRONT command brings all text and dimensions to the front without having to select them all first. Those of you who are familiar with DRAWORDER command know that you must first select all the text and dimensions in the drawing and then use the "Front" option.

This is a simple command to use. On the command line type TEXTTOFRONT and then choose one of the three options.
