Overview
Compare files and align source drawings before generating a difference result.
Compare workflows cover two related viewer operations: compare and align. Compare renders a visual difference between two source files, while align prepares two files to match before comparison.
Use compare when the source files already share the same coordinate space. Use align when the files need manual or headless point matching before comparison can produce a reliable result.
- Compare two file URLs and generate a difference output.
- Align two file URLs with either interactive picking or a supplied point pair.
- Listen for completion or failure events to update host-side workflow state.
Compare
Submit two files for comparison and handle completion events.
Align
Start interactive or headless align before comparing files.
API References
Payloads for compare, align, and completion/error events.
This section is split so host teams can document compare and align separately.
Compare and align typically sit alongside file-management and page-review workflows.
