Show diagram diffrence


This pulls out a new window with two diagrams side by side with marks.
You can filter the changes by the type of change such as “Added”, “Deleted” and “Modified”.
Compare Project

Since version 8.2, the “hide differences in appearance” option is available.
Checking this option will make only the modified models have a mark on. So models with presentation changes such as color changes and subtle re-location will not be detected as a difference.
