File Comparison

CADEditorX User Interface has the embedded function for comparing drawing revisions and identification of their differences. This function helps to learn quickly how the source drawing has been changed.The comparison results are displayed in the graphic form in which all found changes are marked  with a contrasting color. Only DWG and DXF formats can be compared.
