Compare Colours settings determines how different conditions are displayed in the 2D diagram and 3D views following a Compare action. One of the colours is also used as the Integrator highlight colour in the 3D view. Multiple sets of compare colours to be used with different configurations can be defined.
To add a new set of compare colours, right click on Compare Colours in the Integrator Project Configuration Explorer and select Insert.
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 element has one or more accepted differences, for example: 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 element in 3D are not consistent with the connections on the matched schematic element, for example: a branch is connected to the wrong nozzle |
|
Difference |
The values of one or more attributes of the element or its members in 3D do not conform to the rules, or the sequence of elements in 3D does not conform to the schematic sequence |
|
Problem with Model |
An error with the element that can invalidate the comparison will be noted in the Compare Report and/or the Integrator Messages dialogue, for example: 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 elements in the 3D view when selected in the Main Table or Compare Report |
|
Missing |
The element is not matched with an element on the other side, for example: a component on the diagram is coloured to show that there is no matching component in 3D, or an item is missing from the element 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 element was not compared, although it was part of the elements selected for comparison, for example: a branch that models a trunnion support. Note: |
|
OK |
Element data has compared correctly according to the rules |
