How to Configure Build Rules : Configuration File Section by Section : Compare Colours

This Compare Colours settings determine how different conditions will be displayed in the diagram and 3D views following a Compare action. One of the colours is also used as the Integrator highlight colour in the 3D view.

Compare Colours

Each Compare State can have a Compare Colour. To change the colour for that state, click on the colour box to the right of the state and select a colour from the browser.

The Compare States have the following meanings:


Accepted Difference	The object has one or more accepted differences, e.g. it has been accepted as missing, or an attribute difference has been accepted, or it has had matching disabled
Connection Error	The connections on the object in 3D are not consistent with the connections on the matched schematic object, e.g. a branch is connected to the wrong nozzle
Difference	The values of one or more attributes of the object or its members in 3D do not conform to the rules, or the sequence of objects in 3D does not conform to the schematic sequence
Error	An error with the object that can invalidate the comparison will be noted in the Compare Report and/or the Integrator Messages dialogue, e.g. an inconsistent connection reference, or a missing GTYP value leading to a rules evaluation failure
Highlight	This is not used for compare - it is the colour used to highlight objects in the 3D view when selected in the Main Table or Compare Report
Missing	The object is not matched with an object on the other side, e.g. a component on the diagram is coloured to show that there is no matching component in 3D, or an item is missing from the object that is coloured - typically a tube in 3D is coloured to show where a component is missing when compared against the matching segment on the diagram
Not Compared	The objects have not been compared in the current session
OK	Object data has compared correctly according to the rules
