interCAD Compare is a dedicated solution that helps you quickly and accurately compare and identify differences between two ECAD design designs. It supports various ECAD data formats such as Schematic, Layout, Gerber, ODB++, etc., and enables detailed and intuitive design change verification based on graphic and attribute information.
interCAD Compare allows you to compare the entire design or just
specific areas.
Specific Area: Users can select only the area they
want to focus on and analyze the differences in a specific area.
All Layer: Compare all layers of the entire
design at once to comprehensively review changes.
This provides flexible comparative analysis tailored to your usage
needs.
interCAD Compare provides an intuitive and clear image-based
graphical representation of the differences between two design
files.
It allows you to see the shape changes and design
modifications of two designs at a glance, and supports more accurate
judgment during the design verification process.
interCAD Compare compares the attribute information of all design
components, including parts (Partlist), VIA, and NET (Netlist), to
clearly identify differences.
It provides a list of attribute
changes between components, enabling efficient design change
verification.
Automatically highlights areas where differences are detected,
making them visible.
interCAD Compare allows you to clearly
see the areas and information that have changed, increasing the
efficiency and accuracy of your verification work.
You can output the detected differences in Excel format. This can be effectively used for tasks such as creating work instructions or managing design change history.
The Compare function in interCAD Editor can achieve 100 percent accurate verification depending on the value of the ignore difference area option.
The Compare feature in interCAD Editor compares drawings in two ways
1. Image-based graphical comparison
2. Part and Net Objects comparison based on drawing properties
This allows you to effectively identify differences between drawings.
interCAD Editor supports comparison between schematics (Schematic), PCB (PCB Layout), and CAM (Gerber, ODB++) drawings.
However, comparison between schematics and PCB drawings is not supported, and only comparison between schematics, PCBs, and PCBs and CAM drawings is possible.
This error occurs when the units of the drawings being compared are different.
The solution is to set the units of each drawing to be the same in Home → Preference → Design Options in the top menu of interCAD Editor.
If the units are aligned, you can proceed with the comparison without errors.
interCAD Editor compares graphics and objects based on the Origin (reference point) of the drawing.
Therefore, if the Origin of each drawing is different, there may be differences in the comparison results.
To change the Origin, select Edit → Move → Set Origin from the top menu of interCAD Editor to reset the Origin of the drawing.
Familiar environment, powerful performance, and one-click start.
