Symbol layering
On a System Architect diagram, you may leave automatic layering on so that System Architect controls layering based on which symbol it determines to be the “containing” symbol, or turn on manual layering by selecting Format > Diagram Format > Symbol Display Layering > User Control. Once User Control is turned on, move one symbol on top of another symbol. Right‑click one of the symbols, and choose Symbol Layering, and then select Send to the Front > Send to the Back > Bring Forwards or Send Backwards.
