Drawing Compare for Autodesk® Vault® 2021
Win64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
To start comparing drawing changes across revisions:
- Complete install from Appstore.
- Run Vault Explorer.
- Select two drawings or two versions of the same drawing from the history tab.
- Right-click and choose Compare Drawings.
- In the pop-up window, click the Compare button.
- A view window is presented with the dwf comparison and highlighted differences. Note that Compare Drawings cab also be run after selecting a single drawing. In this case, the window will have combo boxes that allow selecting the revisions that should be compared. During the comparison, users can return to the compare revision dialog and select a different file revision or change comparison colors to re-compare. This will generate additional compare view windows so a number of drawing comparisons can be executed on the same drawing selections. The tool only works on drawings that have DWF files and is limited to comparing the first sheet of multi-sheet documents.
