You can move map layers in Recorder 6 v6.13, and earlier versions, to get polygons to display on top of background layers by dragging and dropping them in the Map Layers box in the Map window. You need to drag your polygon layer to somewhere below the background layer(s) in the list. The problem is it is difficult to highlight layers for dragging but with a bit of fiddling you can do it. The up/down arrows in v6.14 make this much easier. The other way to change the order in v6.13 is by using the Move Up/Move Down buttons on Map – Map Options – Map Layers tab. For more information see the Help: Contents – Tasks – Mapping – Map Options – Map order, although the information on order isn’t correct.
