how can i upload a revison DWG drawing? #289
|
I just wanted to compare two DWG files and found that I could only upload the new DWG drawing, and the compare fuction only supported between one drawing with two versions. How can I upload the revision drawing, there is no way. |

This is supported now, thanks for flagging it. Before, the DWG compare could only diff two versions of the same drawing, so a revision uploaded on its own had nothing to compare against. We added a drawing-vs-drawing compare. Open the drawing you want to check, open the Compare panel, and pick another drawing instead of another version. You can either choose any other ready drawing already in the project, or upload the revision right there in the compare panel. The latest version of each drawing is then diffed, the same way the two-document PDF compare works. Both drawings only need to be in the same project. From the differences you can still create a variation if you have the variations permission. This shipped in 9.6.1 and is in the current release, so update with pip install --upgrade openconstructionerp (or grab the latest desktop build) and the option appears in the compare panel. |
