Administrator's release notes: Updates in the Compare commands

The Compare command has been improved to make it easier to understand why two parts, assemblies, or cast units get different position numbers.

A log that lists all the differences between the parts now opens automatically. A tree view that lists all the relevant contents of an assembly and cast unit has also been added.

For more information about these improvements, see Other modeling improvements in the Tekla Structures 2024 release notes.

Update custom report templates

If you do not use the TS_Report_Assembly_Comparison.rpt file from the common environment, you must update your report template.

If you have customized the TS_Report_Assembly_Comparison.rpt file in your environment, edit the file before you copy it to your environment.
1. Browse to the Environments\common\system folder.
2. Open the TS_Report_Assembly_Comparison.rpt file in a standard text editor.
3. Make the same changes that you made in your custom TS_Report_Assembly_Comparison.rpt file.
  
  For example, if you changed the recommended default values for a dialog box, such as the default columns for the attributes of objects and the sort order, make those changes again.
  
  Name and Position number are used for all object types except Weld. The Weld object type uses Type1 and Size1.
Copy the TS_Report_Assembly_Comparison.rpt file from the Environments\common\system folder to a folder in your environment.
