: How do I bring an object one step forward in Adobe Illustrator? I want to bring the circle forward only one step, so it ends up between the green shapes. Please refer to the image if it's

@Odierno310

I'm guessing you have the green ribbon in a single object. If that's the case you should separate the front of it (the green rectangle in the middle) from everything beyond the fold (if seen going from the middle to the outside). Once you have it in separate objects my fastest option is to select the green rectangle, Cut it (Ctrl/Cmd + X) and Paste In Front (Ctrl/Cmd + F). Then pick the folds, group each side in a single object and repeat the same but pasting behind. Would be: Select the folds, Cout it (Ctrl/Cmd + X) and Paste Behind (Ctrl/Cmd +B)

I have CS5 for Mac and it is Command+] to bring forward (Command+[ to send backwards).
You can find the menu item under Object > Arrange.

Alternatively, give each element a meaningful name in the Layers palette, select the layer and drag it to the desired position.

Choose object
Hit alt shift cmd + R (At least on a mac).


And ctrl + ] or [ on Windows

Depending on your system, use these steps however many times you need to reach your desired effect.
