Drawing Comparison in Teamcenter Active Workspace

Written by Stefanie Ellmer | May 10, 2022

Manual processes are time consuming and hold the serious risk of errors. Undisputed one of them is the tracking of design changes: often a manual, time consuming, tedious and error prone venture. BCT Inspector provides remedy.

Insufficient documented modification descriptions can cause increased time effort as well as many and repeated queries. Thus, rapid and accurate change identification and verification are of major importance in the change management process in the manufacturing industry.

Drawing Comparison - one important element within Change Management

One of the features of BCT's quality management tool BCT Inspector is the intelligent comparison of drawings, models and characteristic lists. The integration into the Teamcenter web client Active Workspace enables the CAD-independent comparison of design drawings.

Thus, the version status of a drawing in neutral format (e.g. TIFF/PDF) can be compared with another revision. The comparison is started via a separate button in Active Workspace.

  • Automated graphical comparison of drawing revisions in Active Workspace
  • Easy identification of deleted, added and changed areas on drawings
  • Highlighting of changes
  • Applicable in any drawing revision in Active Workspace
