to pen number in data. Drawing mode (Copy, Merge, Xor) can be chosen as
file unit. The state (plural file names, conditions of drawing) where it
opened before can be memorized to parameter file, and it can restore. In
the case of multi-page file, the specified page is opened or it is possible
to open all pages.
(1) Overlay the file A of the plural color and the file B of the plural color.
File A
File B
 
(2) Piling up the file A of the magenta monochrome and the file B of the sky blue monochrome, you see the change place with the color difference.

and cloud shape mark can be drawn.
The following figure is what drawing file before change set up red and drawing file after change green, opened file, and obtained change area.
Red shows deletion, green shows addition, yellow shows change-less section, and the change area is shown with pink cloud shape mark.
When change part is very small, it may overlook, if change part is checked by different colors. Such a problem will be prevented if it is having change area mark (cloud shape mark) on it. Moreover, even when it prints to monochrome printer, change part will become clear if there is change area mark. Display of change area mark can turn ON/OFF.
Change area mark can be outputted to comment or HPGL file. Moreover, coordinates of change area can be outputted to text file.
This function can use not only vector data of PDF and HPGL but image data
of black and white TIFF.
Sample HPGL data download:
File1 Drawing HPGL file before change demopwb1_0.hgl
File2 Drawing HPGL file after change demopwb2_0.hgl
Please select set-pen menu and check "Ignore FT, RA, RR, WG (paint
polygon, recrangle, fan) command".

Line connection search |
|
|
Line connected with specified line of vector
drawing data can be searched. Search results are displayed on screen as the
specified color. Since these search results are memorized temporarily, it will
disappear, if it performs clearing search results or ending this program, or it
searches connection of the next line, or it opens another file etc. If it is
while having memorized, displaying, printer output, PDF output, DXF output, and
clipboard copy can be performed for search results. The total line segment
length of connected line who searched is displayed.
