Compare Drawing and Project Settings Dialog Box

Displays differences between project defaults and drawing default properties and allows an update.

Find

 Command entry:  AESHEETCOMPARE

This tool compares the general/schematic settings carried on the invisible WD_M block of the drawing with a copy of the settings saved in the project's .wdp project list file. You can update selected drawing settings (multiple selection is allowed) to make them match the values carried in the master project file or vice versa.

If the Settings Description cell displays in light blue the project and drawing settings do not match. When one column is matched to the other, the cell changes in color to indicate that the record were changed. The dialog box list updates automatically when you make changes and then switch between showing all settings or showing just the different settings.

Note: Changing these settings does not automatically change components and wiring already present in your drawing.

Note: You can also access this dialog box by right-clicking a drawing name in the Project Manager and selecting Properties Settings Compare.

You can also right-click any row to access the Match Project or Match Drawing options.
