File Organization for Drawing Compare
AutoCAD Architecture projects (the drawing management feature) provide
automated tools to aid in the management, viewing, and construction of a
building. Although it is not necessary for your drawings to be in a structured
project, Drawing Compare works best when they are. When you are working
in a project environment, Drawing Compare recognizes the Autodesk Project
Information (APJ) file that identifies the collection of drawing files as being
organized in a project. For more information about managing drawings in
projects, see Workflow for a Project Environment on page 289. Different people
on the team can access, share, and redirect project and review drawings in
top-level folders in a project setting. For more information, see Working with
Design Teams Located Remotely on page 307.
If you are not working with a structured project in AutoCAD Architecture,
organize original drawings in project folders, and organize the revised drawings
for review in review folders. The project drawings must all be contained within
the same top-level folder to provide the correct context to perform the
comparison. You specify these source folders for both Project and Review
