Help in comparing DWG files

[yu85.info]

Hi, I wish someone here could help me solve this problem.

I have 1 DWG files (attached: DWG-1 and DWG-2)

I need to find the polylines that were added in DWG-2. I do not care if they are in  different layers, color etc. I only care in the position. Does anyone has an idea how to extract only the parts of polylines that are DWG-2 and not in DWG-1.

Note: I have tried the COMPARE command but it gives me the also the differences by layers and by line length.

Thanks very much in advance

@yu85.info ,

A suggestion would be to XREF your DWG-1 into DWG-2, then with SELECTIONCYCLING On, Erase the duplicate lines - leaving only those lines not included in DWG-1.

Thanks sir, the problem is that some of the polylines are overlapping only by part of them so if i erase the polyline it erase it all.

Your task is going to require a lot of manual edits and judgement calls based on the information you know about he content in both: sorry, there is nothing automated beyond the COMPARE tool to help.

How much detail do you know about the changes? How much was changed? Was every single element touched? The more you can "hide" that are common and unchanged between the two files the better to help you solve the mystery.

OR... can you commit to the one DWG with the most changes, then "fix" what was left out?

Thanks, it will require manual adjustment I know. But I am wishing to do
the minimum. Because the polyline are overlapping I thought first to
"clean" the file. You see, DWG-2 is a latest version of DWG-1. My boss
wants the lines that were added only in the latest version. The difference
of the name of the layers is not relevant. Just need to delete the
overlapping lines and stay with what was added. Cant find a way to do that
