Comparing assemblies


Use the Application menu→Tools tab→Compare Models command to find changes in an assembly. The comparison detects the following:

Note:

Assembly comparisons can be slow if two different assemblies are compared or there are many modified parts in two similar assemblies.

No differences found

When the comparison results display all green volume, no differences were detected. All volume is common to both models.

Note:

The user can define the color of common volume.

Components added

When the comparison results contains any blue volume, added volume was detected. This means that a component was added to the working model. Run the comparison report to find out what components were added.

Note:

The user can define the color of the added volume.

Components removed

When the comparison results contains any glass colored volume, removed volume was detected. This means that a component was removed from the working model. Run the comparison report to find out what components were removed.

Position change

When the comparison results contains any red colored volume, a change in position was detected. This means that a component was moved in the working model. Run the comparison report to find out what components changed position.

Mixed results

The results can contain a mix of all possible volume changes. Run the comparison report to find out what differences are found in the two compared assemblies.
