Instalacin/desinstalacin
The installer that ran when you downloaded this plug-in from Autodesk Exchange has already installed the
plug-in. You may need to restart AutoCAD to activate the plug-in.
To uninstall this plug-in, click Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features (Windows 7) or Control
Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Windows XP), and uninstall as you would any other application from your
system. The panel on the Plug-ins tab will not be removed until AutoCAD is restarted.

Informacin adicional

During a comparison, the Original Version drawing is opened and is overlaid by representations of
geometry and differences from the Compare Version drawing. Any changes you make, while DWG Compare is
active, are made to the Original Version of the drawing. You can save changes you make, but you cannot
merge the drawing versions. DWG Compare is not an integration tool. If necessary, you must manually
integrate the differences between the original and compare versions of the drawing.

Temporary graphics display new objects in Green, modified objects in Yellow, moved objects in White,
deleted objects in Red. Unchanged objects are displayed as Grey.

Comparison results in the Drawing Compare palette are displayed in bold text initially, indicating that
they have not been viewed.

Only Model Space objects are compared. If necessary, the plug-in will switch to the Model tab when
the comparison starts.

Press Shift and click to select multiple consecutive results, or press Ctrl and click to select multiple
non-consecutive results.

Comparison also detects object height changes (z value).

Problemas conocidos

Only DWG files can be compared using this plug-in.

Saving the Original Drawing when the overlaid comparison results are displayed does not save all
displayed geometry to the original file. However, the drawing thumbnail image is updated to display the original
and compared geometry.
