DWG Compare Toolbar — GstarCAD 2027
DWG Compare Toolbar
Function Description:
Displays settings and commands when comparing a drawing with your current drawing.
When a compare operation is started, the DWG Compare toolbar displays.
Settings Panel
The Settings panel controls what types of differences display, revision clouds, whether hatch or text objects display, and what colors are used. For frequent changes, you can pin the Settings panel for convenient access.
1.Difference
Use the light bulb icons to toggle the visibility of the objects in the comparison result. You can also click the color swatches to choose different colors. The Draw Order option controls what displays on top when objects overlap.
2.Revision Clouds
Revision clouds surround the differences between the current and compared drawings, grouping them into change sets. Change sets are objects in close enough proximity to be included in a single revision cloud, which is determined automatically. Click on the Cloud Display icon to change the color of the revision cloud.
Currently only supports creating a single rectangular revision cloud around each changeset to show the changes.
The Size slider allows you to control the offset distance from the changeset to the rectangle used to create each revision cloud.
3.Filters
Filters provide a way to exclude text or hatch objects from the comparison result.
Toggle Comparison - On or Off
Toggles the display of the comparison result in the current drawing.
Previous or Next
Zooms into each successive change set in the current drawing.
Import Objects
Starts the COMPAREIMPORT command. When you select objects at the prompt, only those objects that are not already in your current drawing are selectable.
Export Snapshot
Starts the COMPAREEXPORT command. Exports the comparison results into a new drawing file, called a snapshot drawing. The DWG Compare Snapshot toolbar displays whenever you open a snapshot drawing.
This toolbar is similar to the DWG Compare toolbar, providing a Settings panel and the Previous and Next controls.
Exit Comparison
Starts the COMPARECLOSE command, which exits the comparison in the current drawing.
