Layers
By default all drawings are added to the drawing layer. This layer sits above the map and scene grid but below all other images.

If you need to move a drawing below the grid you can use the Layer menu item when a drawing is selected.
Trim and Join
Drawings can be combined to make new shapes. To do this you can use the join action when selecting two or more drawings.
Drawings can also be cut away from each other using the trim option. See the fog guide for more details on this.
