Drawing Version Compare
Design Review can compare D DWF files and vector content to allow
a reviewer to understand what has changed between versions.
. From the main menu, select Tools and then select Compare.
The Compare dialog box opens. (Figure J)
. Select the Browse button, locate the DWF file you would like
to compare, and click Open. A full list of the sheets in that file
will appear.
. Select the sheet you want to compare.
. Click on Options to choose what color is used to define
additions or deletions to the drawing between the versions.
. Select OK. A visual comparison will be displayed in the content
palette, along with a list of the additions and deletions between
the versions in the Navigator/Markup palette.
Warning: Occasionally, comparing DWF files may produce some
unexpected results. Design Review will identify all dierences
between two DWF files, whether the dierence is made intentionally
by a reviewer or unintentionally by an anomaly in a publishing
program. It will be unable to compare both vector (shapes) and
raster (pixels) content—a common publishing error that occurs
when a D DWF file is published from a D model space.
Online Content Search
Design Review enables you to search online for a selected
part’s description, title, or part number.
To search online for information not in the open DWF file:
. Choose Tools > Search Online, or select the Search Online
button from the main toolbar . The search engine dialog is
opened in a separate window. (Figure K)
