Drawing Views

The left and right drawing views display the two versions of your drawing being compared. The display above the drawing view shows the drawing name and the version. The select list in the display allows you to choose the drawing layers to be compared and can be selected individually for each version. Possible select list values are Primary, Typical, or Both.

If you compare two versions from different projects, the version that belongs to the other project appears in the left Drawing view and the version that belongs to your active Drawing Manager project appears in the right Drawing view. If you compare two versions from your active project, then the latest version appears in the right Drawing view.

At the top of each Drawing view, the Plant or project, the name of the drawing, and the version is displayed explicitly. You can move the bars between the different views according to your needs. If you double-click on the divider between the left and right Drawing views, then the software automatically adjusts the two views to be the same-size.

Properties Window

Displays two columns of properties for an item selected in a Drawing view or in the Change details list. The left-hand and right-hand columns correspond to the left and right Drawing views. If a deleted item is selected (the item exists in left view, but not the right view), the properties for that item are listed in the left-hand column and the right-hand column is empty. If a modified item is selected, values from both versions show in their respective columns in the Properties window. If a new item is selected, that is, the item exists in right view, but not the left view, the properties for that item are listed in the right-hand column and the left-hand column is empty.

Properties Commands

Allows you to customize the properties that are displayed in the Properties window.

PPM All Outputs Graphic Alphabetic

Lists properties in alphabetical order. This button acts as a toggle and is available when properties are displayed categorically.

PPM All Outputs Graphic Show Modified

Toggles the display of only those properties of the selected drawing item that are different in the versions. This button applies only to modified items that exist in both versions. For added and deleted items, all properties are listed.
