Examining Differences Using the CAD Tool

You can synchronize the graphic display in CAM Compare with the graphic display in the CAD tool. In the CAD tool, you can examine each location for which the product model does not match the CAM files.

Prerequisites

  • You have set up graphic synchronization in the CAD tool.

  • You have set Tools > EDA Sync Mode to the appropriate value:

    • Manual — Synchronization is performed when you click EDA Synchronize Now! or press Ctrl + J.

    • Automatic — Synchronization is performed automatically when the view changes.

    • Off — No synchronization is performed.

Procedure

  1. Make sure that the CAD tool is running and that the appropriate design is open.
  2. In CAM Compare, display an area of the board that contains a discrepancy between the design and the reference files, as described in “Examining the Comparison Results”.
  3. Press Ctrl + J or another defined shortcut, or click EDA Synchronize Now! , to display the same area of the board in the CAD tool.
