creating schematic diffs

Jan 04, 2005 4 Replies

Does anyone have a suggestion for creating diffs with ORCAD schematic. ORCAD itself doesn't support such a thing but I was wondering whether I can create PDF's or something simillar and have a graphics tool highlight the differences.



I know that I could ECO and look at the changes but I am looking for more of a management/presentation solution so that I can go to a meeting and show the differences on a projector.



Any ideas?

Acrobat has a command to diff 2 PDF files. The for-pay version, not the free one. It puts the pages up side by side with yellow boxes overlaying the parts that are different. Works OK as long as your recipe for making PDFs doesn't change. In particular you have to keep the page size the same, including borders.

That's from non-current memory. I haven't used it for a while. Worked great when I wanted it. I was trying to find all the changes, not show anything to management.

I can't help you with your problem. But I did right a netlist comparator once. If you are interested I could send it to you or post it somewhere or whatever.

Maybe you could left one instead?
