  1. On the Generate Loop Drawings dialog, in the CAD Options tab, select the Save output data to database check box.

  2. On the CAD History tab, select the Compare outputs check box if this is not the first generation to make the additional options available.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • Select Set date range and then, in the From and To boxes, specify the history date range you need for the comparison.

    • Select Select specific generation, and then, from the data window, select a specific generation to which you want to compare the current generation.

  4. Under History data, select one of the following check boxes or both check boxes:

    • Select Display in the drawing to display history data in the generated drawing.

    • Select Display in the report to display the Data Changes Report before proceeding with the loop generation. The report includes the tag number, block name, macro name and description, old value and the new value.

  5. Do one of the following:

    • Select Show data from previous generation to display the old history value from the previous generation.

    • Select Mark with user- define value and type a new value in the box below. This marks the drawing or the report with the new value instead of the old history value from the previous generation.

    • In the generated drawing or report, the software displays the old value in parentheses.

    • If you selected Display in the report, the software displays the Data Changes Report before proceeding with the loop generation. After printing or viewing the report, select OK to return to the Generate Loop Drawings dialog.

  6. Select OK to start the generation process.

  • When comparing a loop drawing that you have just generated with an older one, you have to set the comparison date range to include both generations. If that date includes more than one loop drawing, select the exact loop drawing to which you want to compare the currently generated one.

  • The results show a comparison of the current data in the loop drawing with the data stored in the history for the specified date range or generation.
