Using Revision Checking
To use the revision checking facility, click Rev Check.
1. Click Load Files in Rev Check.
2. In the Load dialog box, specify the name of the original drawing file and the name of the revised drawing file.
Creo Elements/Direct 2D Access displays the two drawings overlapping.
3. Click Geometry in Compare.
Creo Elements/Direct 2D Access compares the location of the geometry and texts (without comparing the parts structure) in the two drawings and shows the result of the comparison in different colors according to the following defaults:
|
Blue
|
Identical geometry elements in both drawings
|
|
Green
|
Differences in the original drawing
|
|
Red
|
Differences in the modified drawing
|
The other options in the Compare menu do the following:
|
Annotation
|
In addition to Geometry, this option also compares the properties of the geometry and texts — linetype, color, text attributes, info texts — and the dimensions and hatches in both drawings.
|
|
Parts
|
In addition to Annotation, this option compares the parts structure in both drawings.
If you modify a drawing solely by a scaling factor, clicking Parts displays all elements in red (indicating a difference). However, the options Geometry and Annotation displays elements and annotation in blue (indicating identical elements).

 |
Both drawings must have the same location compared to the drawing origin to get meaningful results from the comparison.
