LDD File comparison

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Say I'm modifying an existing LDD, but along the way, I'm not sure what parts I deleted/added. Is there any way to compare my updated LDD file with the original file to find out what are parts I added/different?

 

Thanks!

Assuming you still have the original file, you might be able to use the "File/Export BOM" menu option.

Export the BOM for the original file as an Excel spreadsheet. Export the BOM for the modified file as an Excel spreadsheet.

Copy the content of one of the exported spreadsheets adjacent to the cells of the other exported spreadsheets. Some very simple comparison formulae on

(a) the quantity columns and

(b) the part # and colour code columns

would quickly show you a summary of which parts were different (albeit without the actual location in the model).
