Diff'ing two drawings

[ryandias]

Is there a way to do this in solidedge?

I've been asked to evaluate a PDF diff tool by my boss. Bluebeam PDF Revu CAD ed.

It looks ok for the price, but I find it hard to say it is better then sitting down with a highlighter and paper.

Any thoughts?

Diff? am I being slow, what do you mean by diff?

As regards being able to mark up a drawing...

There's view and mark up with Solid Edge, can't remember how much it can do.

My thoughts are, untill I have a very large/muliple monitors to pull drawings up 1:1, with an on screen stylus mark up function etc. then printing out and marking up will be easier.

The advantage of doing it electronically (apart from saving paper) is being able to send the mark ups to other people.

Oh, and real engineers, drafters & checkers use colored pencils, not markers;-).

KENAT,

Have you reminded yourself of faq731-376 recently, or taken a look at posting policies:

I assume 'diff' is short for difference so you are looking for something that compares 2 drawings.
I've never come across anything that does this, although I have heard of such products.
As for the one you mention...
"Revu automatically compares two PDF drawings and marks the differences with clouds"
The only way to tell how useful it is, is to trial it.

I trialed it and it clouds anything that moved (ie, if the pixel was white, and now it is black it is clouded). It has no inteligence to say the dimension moved a slight bit but is still the same.

At the end of the day I feel more confident in doing on paper manually with "colored pencils" or a highlighter.
