Illustrator

Paste an object relative to other objects

  1. Select the object you want to paste.
  2. Choose Edit > Copy or Edit > Cut.
  3. Select the object in front or in back of which you want to paste.
  4. Choose Edit > Paste In Front or Edit > Paste In Back.

    If you paste more than one object, all pasted objects appear in front or in back of the selected artwork. However, the relative painting order among the individual pasted objects remains the same.
