Re: [PEDA] diff for protel schematics

Well, you could run the ASCII output through CMsort (search for CMsort) and then compare. (the sorted files will not be usable, but differences *will* be, most likely, real differences.) But usually differences in netlists are what count, since the rest is pretty much fluff -- differences in BOMs would, of course, be discoverable at the spreadsheet level. Would be really nice to have a really good graphical diff engine bewteen revs of sch or PCBs. Indeed. Would not be too difficult to implement, either, I would think. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Real graphical and deeper diff'ing between sch's or even PCBs has been discussed on the dxp forums and I think Altium have said that it is certainly something of interest but as far as I know there has been nothing stated that such a facility is going to be delivered. Would be really nice to have a really good graphical diff engine bewteen revs of sch or PCBs.
