Compare with Revision

You can visually compare changes that have been made to drawings.

Use this function for:

• Drawings saved in the Vertex archives.
• Drawings saved in the Vertex Flow archives.

This requires that the old version has been saved in the Vertex archives or Flow archives.

• The modification database of the archives data allows you to compare any older version to the active document.

• The differences between the old and the new document is indicated by colors.

Difference Indication

• Objects that are found in the old drawing but not in the new one are shown in red.
• Objects that are only found in the new drawing are shown in green.
• Shared objects in the same location in both drawings are shown in light grey.

Compare the older revision to an active document.

1. First, open the original drawing to which you want to compare in the working window.
2. On the tab, in the Comparison group, click Revision.
3. Select the revision to which you want to compare the edited drawing, and select OK.

   You can also compare with the last saved revision by selecting Last saved.

4. The Compare dialog box opens and illustrates the additions and deletions in the drawing.
   • Inserted -  Objects only in the new drawing.
   • Removed - Objects in the old drawing, but not in the new one.
   • If you select Keep Markings, the markings will remain on screen even if you click OK.
5. Stop comparison by selecting in the Comparison group Stop. Markings will be removed.
