Comparing Revisions
With Windchill RV&S you can compare:
Any two text-based revisions in a history
Any two symbolic link file revisions in a history
A text-based revision and its associated working file in a Sandbox (GUI only)
A symbolic link file revision and its associated working file in a Sandbox (GUI only)
Any two text files
Your can also compare your checked out working file and the locked revision as part of the check in procedure. This enables you to decide whether your changes should be checked in or discarded.
The commands discussed in this section for the GUI use Visual Difference, a tool that compares and merges members and revisions.
Windchill RV&S allows you to use a third party differencing tool in the GUI if you do not want to use Visual Difference. You can specify a third party difference tool in your preferences.
* 
Visual Difference does not recognize the cr line terminator. Consequently the cr line terminator may appear as a difference between revisions.
