WorkspaceManager_Dlg-ChooseDocumentPairChoose Documents To Compare_AD
Summary
This dialog allows the user to choose which documents to compare when using the Comparator with any detected differences presented in the subsequent Differences between dialog. It is available in two modes - a basic mode, allowing you to quickly select the target PCB document to compare against the project's source document hierarchy, and an advanced mode, giving control over the documents compared (document-to-document, project-to-project, or document-to-project).
Access
The dialog is accessed by right-clicking in the Projects panel and choosing the Show Differences command from the context menu.
Options/Controls
- Documents list - this main region of the dialog lists the documents that can, and selectively are, to be compared. The appearance depends on the mode, as determined by the Advanced Mode option:
- Basic Mode - a single list will present the PCB documents for the focused design project. Simply choose the specific PCB document to compare against the design hierarchy of that project.
- Advanced Mode - two lists are presented, each displaying the currently open projects and their documents. Choose a document on the left, to compare with a document on the right. You can choose to compare a document with another document, a project with another project, or a document with a project (as per basic mode).
- Advanced - use this option to toggle the dialog between its basic mode (disabled), and its advanced mode (enabled).
