    01f. How can I compare and see the difference between 2 different material libraries?

    Applies To
    Product(s): AutoPIPE,
    Version(s): All
    Area: Library
    Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group

    Problem:

    How can I compare and see the difference between 2 different material libraries?

    Solution:

    This cannot be done all at once at this level but can be accomplished in stages by using the following procedure:

    1. In AutoPIPE, select Tools> Library> configure the dialog as shown below (select any library name listed)

          Press OK button.

    2. The document will automatically appear, use File> Save AS > Save a copy to a TXT file-name or print a copy out.

    3. Repeat steps 1 & 2, changing to a different Library Name.

    4. Use a program like Beyond Compare or Ultra Compare to find the difference between these libraries or manually compare print outs.

    5. Repeat steps 1 - 4 as necessary for the different Table types between library names.

    Another solution would be to compare the actual material SPC files using a program like Beyond Compare or Ultra Compare to find the difference between the files.
