Drawing Compare

If you are working with CAD apps, then there is a fair chance that you create dozens of saves when working on a project, files that might be hard to find later on when you want to sort them out. Drawing Compare is a tool that provides you with a quick and efficient option to finding differences between two CAD drawings.

The installation is rather quick and straightforward, so it is unlikely that you can encounter any challenges. Even though the application comes with an old-school and minimalistic looks, the interface is clean and neatly organized. While most the UI is dedicated to displaying the images, you can find the options in the upper and lower areas.

On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that the application does not work with file formats specific to the vast majority of CAD programs out there, but rather a handful of file formats, namely PNG, JPG and BMP. It would have been nice if the app supported more file formats, particularly the ones that are distinct to CAD applications.

The advantage of the application stems from the fact that it provides you with a quick and painless method to determine the differences between two pictures that may look identical to the naked eye at first. In fact, the tool includes several view modes, so you can choose one that is appropriate for your drawings.

Moreover, you can explore the results while having the files overlapping or one at a time for each file individually. Considering that you do not need to spend hours finding a small modification that you made accidentally to a file, it goes without saying that the app can save you a lot of time and energy.

In case you are commonly working with CAD drawings and are looking for a solution to help you sort the files out more efficiently, then perhaps Drawing Compare could lend you a hand.
