The Differences between dialog
The Differences between dialog allows the designer to browse through differences that have been detected between documents chosen for comparison. For each difference, you can decide whether to update one of the documents or not, ultimately creating an Engineering Change Order, in order to synchronize the documents as required.
The dialog is accessed after running a comparison between chosen documents in the Choose Documents To Compare dialog. The Comparator will adhere to the setup defined for it on the Project Options - Comparator dialog and, if any differences are detected whose associated comparison types are not set to be ignored, those differences will appear listed in the Differences between dialog.
The dialog is essentially divided into three main regions - Differences, Update and Change Order.
This region of the dialog lists all differences that the Comparator has found between the chosen documents. Each difference is listed in the corresponding column for the document in which it resides. Differences are grouped by comparison type as listed and enabled on the Comparator tab of the Project Options dialog. The entry at this group level reflects the number of differences of that type.
Double-click on an entry to crossprobe to the object on the relevant source document.
This region of the dialog is where you specify which document should be updated in order to remedy the difference. By default, all Decision entries initially have a decision of No Change applied to them.
The update decision for each difference can be individually determined by clicking on the associated entry in the Decision column then selecting the required update action in the subsequent ECO Decision dialog. Simply choose the direction of the update (which of the compared documents to update) or No Updates at all.
This region of the dialog lists (for each difference that you decide to act upon) the action to be taken, the object affected by the action, and the document upon which the action will be carried out. It is this information that is used to compile the subsequent ECO that will be used to create the updates. Common actions that will be listed in this area are:
