The Object Type - Compare Selection dialog is used when comparing Baselines (an IWLive Pro licence is required), Control Data, Live Data or Networks.
The name of the dialog depends on the type of object the comparison is to be implemented on.
This dialog is for objects version controlled under the lock method. See Compare Object dialog for objects version controlled under the merge method.
The dialog can be displayed by right clicking a baseline / control data / live data or network in the database tree, displayed in the Model Group window or the Explorer window, and selecting Compare from the context menu.
For more information, see the Comparing topic.
