Teamcenter Visualization has the ability to compare two drawings and see what has changed.

The Drawing Compare Process is Very Simple

• In VisView choose File->Open and select the CGM of the first drawing
• Then choose File->Insert and select the second CGM
  Notice VisView has created 2 Markup Layers

If you click on the round nodes in the Project Workspace you can turn the layers off and on. If the 2D Compare toolbar does not appear, choose View->Toolbars to turn it on. The first icon in the toolbar is to Compare 2 Layers. When you activate this icon the other icons will become active. The will also create a third layer where you can see both drawings. The first layer is set to Red, The second layer is set to Green. The third layer is the compare layer where which will display Black for the common elements between both drawings. You can display one layer at a time or a three by choosing the next 4 icons. There is also an icon to delete the compare layer. The last icon you can set your preferences for the compare.
