Autodesk Design Review Getting Started Guide

Drawing Version Compare

Design Review can compare 2D DWF files and vector content to allow 
a reviewer to understand what has changed between versions. 

1.  From the main menu, select 

Tools

 and then select 

Compare

. 

The Compare dialog box opens. 

(Figure J)

2.  Select the Browse button, locate the DWF file you would like 

to compare, and click Open. A full list of the sheets in that file 
will appear.

3.  Select the sheet you want to compare.
4.  Click on Options to choose what color is used to define  

additions or deletions to the drawing between the versions.  

5.  Select OK. A visual comparison will be displayed in the content 

palette, along with a list of the additions and deletions between 
the versions in the Navigator/Markup palette. 

 

Warning: Occasionally, comparing DWF files may produce some 
unexpected results. Design Review will identify all differences  
between two DWF files, whether the difference is made intentionally 
by a reviewer or unintentionally by an anomaly in a publishing 
program. It will be unable to compare both vector (shapes) and 
raster (pixels) content—a common publishing error that occurs 
when a 2D DWF file is published from a 3D model space. 

Online Content Search

Design Review 2008 enables you to search online for a selected 
part’s description, title, or part number. 

To search online for information not in the open DWF file:

1.  Choose 

Tools > Search Online

, or select the Search Online 

button from the main toolbar 

 . The search engine dialog is 

opened in a separate window.
