Re-running the Comparison with Edited Reference Files

If you have edited the design in the CAD tool, and re-exported the CAM files, you can import just the modified CAM files to CAM Compare, and re-run the comparison on the layers for which the CAM files have changed.

Prerequisites

You have compared the ODB++ product model with the CAM files output from the CAD tool as described in “Performing CAM Compare” and found discrepancies that require modification in the original CAD tool.

Procedure

  1. In the CAD tool, make the required changes and export CAM files.
  2. Use the Import reference CAM files tool to import CAM files that have changed to CAM Compare.
  3. To select the layers for which the CAM files have changed, in the filter column , clear all check boxes using the Filter Out All Layers tool and select individual check boxes.
  4. Match the layers using the Match layers tool .
  5. Register the layers using the Register layers tool .
  6. Compare the product model with the reference files using the Compare Layers tool .
