-Today let’s perform a very useful tool to compare between two drawing files.
-For example, if you received a modified drawing from your project team.
-But you don’t know what objects have been modified from your original version.
-From the ribbon, select the Graphic Compare tool at Express tab> Drawing panel.
-Within the Graphic Compare dialog box, check the Specify file option.
-You can load the base file which means the original file you were working with.
-And browse the file you have received from your project team.
-There are two options to output the compared drawing.
-In this case, let’s select Export to a file option.
-If you click the Output settings button, you can set different layer, linetype and color for the compare drawing objects.
-Make sure the right path where the compared file will be saved.
-And finally, press the Ok button to finish the Graphic Compare command.
-The program will identify and process all objects modified, added or deleted from both drawings.
-You can open the compared drawing.
-Notice all modified objects have been highlighted with assigned colors.
-In our next tutorial we’ll see how to compare similar objects that lie on a current drawing.
