This is particularly helpful for quickly viewing changes, identifying clashes, reviewing constructability, and more. Let\u2019s see what this looks like in practice by considering these two versions of a floor plan. What\u2019s different between them? The change is small, but critical.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/dwg-compare-1-before_wqjbg6.png\" alt=\"AutoCAD DWG Compare: Before AutoCAD 2019\" width=\"691\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/dwg-compare-1-before_wqjbg6.png 691w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/dwg-compare-1-before_wqjbg6-300x172.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 691px) 100vw, 691px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When you use the DWG Compare functionality, this is what you can see:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/dwg-compare-2-after_m0zsln.png\" alt=\"AutoCAD DWG Compare: After\" width=\"691\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/dwg-compare-2-after_m0zsln.png 707w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/dwg-compare-2-after_m0zsln-300x78.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 691px) 100vw, 691px\" \/><br \/>\nThe green and red graphics highlight the differences between the first version of the drawing (green) and the second version (red).
