Drawing Compare
An efficient review of drawings and revisions is key as you move through the design,
development, and construction phases of a project. The Drawing Compare feature makes it
easier and faster to compare versions of drawings visually and review proposed changes. In
addition to AutoCAD Architecture, Drawing Compare also allows you to compare drawings
from AutoCAD
®
, Revit MEP, Revit Architecture, and Revit Structure.
Overview of Drawing Compare
A typical project requires multiple reviews as you produce drawings and add
supplemental information. Drawing Compare compares review drawings to
project drawings. The original drawings are the project drawings. The drawings
that are revised and ready for evaluation are the review drawings.
The comparison process is like how drawings were compared when they were
received on tracing paper or Mylar sheets and then overlaid on the original
project drawings. Drawing Compare displays informational data about the
objects in your drawing as well as displaying the graphical changes on the
drawing screen.
You select the review drawings and compare each to its corresponding project
drawing on the Setup tab of the Drawing Compare palette. After the comparison,
you view the results on the Review tab of the Drawing Compare palette and in
the drawing area.
Drawing Compare identifies objects that have been modified, added, or removed
in the review drawings. Based on the status of the objects (modified, new, or
missing), colors are assigned, and a list of the changes is generated.
