Compare Model Elements

Use the Align Models editor in Compare mode to determine the differences between model elements in a targeted manner. You can use filters to restrict the comparison results to the relevant differences.

Use the Align Models editor in Compare mode to set what differentiates two elements, as e.g. a model was copied and you need to determine what has been changed since this copy was created. The focus here is on the logical differences between elements of the same type.

Tip

Use the Quick Compare to easily compare a version of one element with another version in another model.

In the editor, a diagram is displayed as different if its own properties or graphical nodes differ. In a separate comparison window for diagrams, graphical and logical differences between the diagram elements are evaluated.

You can also consider differences in textual and enumeration properties in detail in separate comparison windows.

You require the Align Models privilege in order to execute the editor and use the comparison windows.

You can use filters to restrict the comparison results to the relevant differences. This means you can e.g. exclude the same elements or properties, elements with a certain element type or stereotype, certain property types or quite specific elements from the results view.

Profile elements of the configuration can also be compared in Compare mode.
