  1. In the List view, select the drawing.

  2. Select Version History PPM All Outputs Graphic.

  3. In the drawing list on the Version History dialog, select the version in the active project that you want to compare against a version elsewhere.

  4. Select Compare With.

  5. On the Compare With dialog, select the correct target project or the Plant database from the Available Databases list.

  6. In the History list, choose the version of the drawing that you want to compare against your version and select OK.

  7. On the Compare dialog, you can view the differences between the two versions, but you cannot make changes to the designs. To change the design, you must use Smart P&ID. For more information about using the compare-and-refresh capabilities inside Smart P&ID, see Comparing and Refreshing Versions in Smart P&ID Help.

You can manipulate the views and navigate through the listed changes by using the commands on the Compare dialog toolbar. Each Drawing view also has its own shortcut menu, which includes manipulation commands that apply only to that view.

You can select an item in either Drawing view. The item is then located in the appropriate group in the Change details list. If you select an item in the Change details list, then you can use the Find in Drawings button PPM All Outputs Graphic on the toolbar to locate the item in one or both Drawing views.

You can select an item in the Drawing view or in the Change details list. Properties for that item appear in the Properties window. Selecting multiple items is not possible on the Compare dialog.

  • The following differences are ignored: claim status, select list strings, linked or embedded objects, symbology, and inconsistency indicators.

  • You can only compare a drawing against a version of itself; that is, you cannot compare one drawing to another drawing.

  • You can also compare versions when you are checking in a drawing. See Check In a Drawing.

  • If you attempt to compare two versions that are actually identical to each other, the Compare dialog does not open and a confirmation message alerts you as to why.
