Showing the Differences Between Two Data Sets

1. In the "Data Editor for: <Component>" dialog window, select two of the component or project data sets in the "Data" pane.

   You can select multiple data sets by clicking on them while holding down the <Ctrl> key.

2. In the Data menu, point to Show Differences and select Flat.

   The data sets are compared on the first level, i.e. only the values for the basic elements contained in the project or component are compared. Referenced data sets are not taken into account. The Differences dialog box opens showing the differences in the data sets. The differences for scalar elements are shown directly, non-scalar elements with different data are only listed.

   Or

3. In the Data menu, point to Show Differences and select Recursive.

   The data sets are compared recursively, i.e. independent of the data sets referenced, the values of the basic elements in all referenced components are compared.

4. In the "Differences" window, select Copy To Clipboard to copy the results of the comparison to the clipboard.

   They can now be pasted into another application.
