how to work efficently....

some times they send us , updated arch so , we need to compare and updated... how to do it faster

Hi,

to compare the old with the new one, use command COMPARE [F1]

If I understand correctly:

If the drawings you receive are drawn well, you should be able to XREF them into your drawings, and simply Freeze a bunch of Layers to "remove" [only visually] what you don't want to see.  Then when they send you updated drawings, replace the Xref'd source drawings with the updated ones, and all will be updated in your drawings without your needing to compare anything other than to look for effects on your work, and all the same things will be invisible without your needing to select anything.

[But if you get drawings that are drawn badly, for example with things that should not be shown on the same Layers as things that should be shown, that approach will not work for you.]

To supplement Kent's advise, add the following to your acaddoc.lsp or acadltdoc.lsp:

(defun c:FF () (command "LayFrz" "Settings" "Block" "None" pause "")(princ))
(defun c:FFE () (command "LayFrz" "Settings" "Block" "Entity" pause "")(princ))
(defun c:FFV () (command "LayFrz" "Settings" "Viewports" "Vpfreeze" pause "")(princ))

FFE is what you will be using for an XREF object.
