I want to group some MapObjects like devices and sensors with the predefined object like the white rectangle with green or red border. If I do so, the connectors between the devices are not visible. Sending the rectangle to the background shows the devices in the foreground but not their connectors. How can I make that the connectors are shown?

Due to technical reasons connection lines will always be shown in the background. They will be hidden by any other objects on your map. Unfortunately this cannot be changed. I'm sorry for the inconvenience!

As a workaround we recommend using a background image containing the rectangles you want to show, instead of using rectangle objects on your map.

Any updates on this?

Hi there,

You could also add a new "Custom HTML Element" object to the map. To display a rectangle without the white filling use this code:

<p style="margin: 0; height: 100%; width: 100%; border: 2px solid #000;"> </p>

To put this element behind all others enter "1" into the "Layer" property of the map object.
