Sheet Comparisons

It sure would be nice if Autodesk would add a new drawing comparison feature to the existing DWF markup tool.  Currently the markup tool only shows comments added to a DWF but a full comparison tool would help to find all the tiny revisions to drawings and schedules that easily go undetected when editing a Revit model.  You know, like when you revise a door on the plan but never look at the change that happened on the schedule...or the change on the interior elevation!

 

The Design Review is too slow because if forces you to load each sheet separately.  Acrobat Pro has the only good comparison feature that I've seen so far.

 

The DWF markup tool in Revit is very similar in function and looks like it could support such capability. In Construction Administration phase it would be so, so, very nice to be able to see the changes and just be able to cloud them right there while you are looking at the change....without ever leaving Revit!

You can create a multi sheet DWF, rather than separate sheets.

 

We use design review, as it allows the user to see delete or new (Changes) when doing a side by side compression.

 

It round trips and the mark-ups can be used in Revit so the team can see required changes from the designers who may not use the authoring tools!

 

Hope this helps
