FAQ: Why are the altered objects not identified as modified when I run a Drawing Compare session?

Check the Visual Filter worksheet and verify that the objects in question are not excluded from the Drawing Compare review. In the Included Objects section, expand each list of objects and select the appropriate objects for inclusion in the Drawing Compare review if necessary. If the properties that have been modified are annotation scale-dependent, they may not have been modified at the current annotation scale.

Drawing Compare uses the current model space annotation scale from the project drawing when comparing drawings. Annotative entities that do not support the current scale are still compared, but properties that can vary by scale representation will be identified as ''Missing scale representation.'' Properties that never vary by scale representation are always identified with their actual values. For any specific annotative entity, Drawing Compare will compare all its non-annotative properties as well as those scale-specific properties that are associated with the current annotation scale.

Non-annotative entities will always appear at the same size and rotation and will have the same property values regardless of the current annotation scale.
