How do I…
Show what changed on a sheet
Swipe between two versions of a sheet, step through each change, and show it full screen to a client.
Where to find it: open the project › the arrow beside Save (on a phone, More) › Changes › See on drawing. See Changes.
The page names the two versions at the top; Changes above them goes back to the grid with the same two chosen. Every sheet where a device changed is drawn with its blueprint and real icons. A sheet only one version has is shown marked, with New in or Not in beside it. Pinch or scroll to zoom and drag to move; the + and − buttons zoom too, and the last button fits the sheet again.
Choose how to show it
- Marked: the newer version, with changes ringed. Green is added, red and crossed out is removed (drawn where it stood), amber is changed or moved. Unchanged devices are faded.
- Swipe: the older version left of a divider, the newer one right of it, each version's name on its side. Drag the round handle, or use the arrow keys, Home and End on it.
- Side by side: the two versions next to each other, zoomed and moved together.
Both versions are drawn in one frame, so a spot stays in the same place on screen even when the paper size changed between them.
To flash the older version, hold H on a keyboard, or press and hold Hold to show on a touch screen. It shows for as long as you hold.
Step through the changes
The list beside the sheet groups its changes, room by room when the project has rooms.
- Choose a row to zoom to it.
- Use ‹ and › to step through every change one at a time, moves included. The count shows where you are, such as 3 of 19.
A device moved to another sheet is listed on both: where it went, and where it came from.
The page opens on the sheet with the most changes, already in Swipe. Opened from a number in the grid's last column, it goes to that item's changes, zoomed in.
Show it to a client
Choose Full screen (on a phone, the button in the sheet's corner). Only the drawing, the two version labels and the ‹ › stepper are left, large enough to read across a table; on an iPad the sheet takes the whole screen, and a finger swipes, pinches and steps. Choose Exit full screen in the corner, or press Esc, to go back.
