Understanding graphical comparisons

You can compare two revisions of a part or assembly and view differences in the embedded viewer pane. Teamcenter displays any differences by color coding parts or assemblies to indicate the type of change made. The differences are also shown in the product structure tree by icons. You can also compare two occurrence groups to identify differences. You can compare both revision controlled and nonrevision controlled assemblies (for example, configured by effectivity) graphically. You can compare: An assembly with another assembly. A part with another part. An occurrence group with another occurrence group. Supersedures. If you compare two assemblies under change management (where one assembly is an impacted item and the other is a solution item of an engineering change object), Teamcenter displays a list of supersedures.

Note You must implement change management if you want to define and use supersedures. You cannot compare multilevel structures by this method.
