This article will teach you how to annotate and compare drawings

Updated over a week ago

Click on the Ellipses of a Drawing sheet and select Annotate/Compare from the dropdown menu.

This will open the feature where you can annotate drawings, compare versions for changes and attach marked up plans to existing or new RFIs (Request for Information).

Overlay Comparison

The Compare feature allows users to select 2 sheets and overlay them so differences are highlighted in contrasting colors.

After selecting the first sheet:

  • Click on Compare button above to select the second sheet to overlay.

  • If there are earlier versions/revisions of the sheet, those will appear automatically. Select from those or clear out the search cell above to see all sheets to select from drawings. You can also use type-ahead in this cell to search for a particular sheet.

Differences in the compared drawings will appear marked in the corresponding blue or red colors.

You can toggle between Document A and Document B tabs to confirm changes, which may be required on sheets that already use color.

Please Note: Color comparison will only appear on files split using the Upload, Split and Scan after January 6th, 2023. Files that were split previously will only show the comparison overlay in grayscale.

​Align
​
If the sheets selected do not line up exactly, the Align option can be used. It will require you to select 3 reference points to align on the drawings. The Align feature will appear differently depending upon the device used. The desktop Align tool appears with the zoom tool that can be used to click on the exact points. Click Reset as needed if you need additional repositioning.

Tablets, touchscreen computers, and handheld devices will have a touchpoint tool to select. You will first need to zoom into the sheet ensure you have sliding toolbars on both axes, then use your finger to move the actual drawing sheet itself to align the pointer then click select point to mark each location.
