Topic: Drawing Comparison Software ??

[Kerry]

Has anyone come across any Drawing Comparison Software that they'd choose to comment on.

Well, the viewer that comes packaged with our EDMS, Adept has a compare function.  It works and many times, it does exactly what we need it to.
I'd posted a screenshot in this thread some time ago...
Also posted a comment here...

AutoCAD Architecture and MEP have one built one.

Thanks guys.
I think I'll drag MEP down from ADN and have a look.

If you utilize DWF/DWFx and Design Review, there's a compare option as well. Just another option is all.

So, just open the two drawings and hold down CTRL+Tab!
Cheap & dirty, but often gets the job done!

Actually, Design Review can import DWG files, if you have TrueView (also free) installed, then you can compare them that way as well.

I don't have an option to import DWG files from Design Review. Nor do I see a "Compare" option in TrueView. Am I missing something? If these are in fact available that would be very nice for non-CAD end users.
