Another way to deal with overlapping objects is: DRAWORDER command. It allows to: bring object front, bottom, above or back certain objects.
Follow steps to perform command:
1. write DR [DRAWORDER] and press enter
2. select object to bring to front or move back
3. choose one option: Above objects, Under objects, Front, Back
4. pick reference object if Above or Under option was chosen.
