Compare And Batch

Document Compare

The compare workflow uses document identity entries, object diffs, property diffs, and DXF text diffs.

Use compare when you need to answer:

  • which objects were added or removed
  • which properties changed
  • whether rendered or semantic state differs between two document versions
  • how ASCII DXF text differs at line level

Batch Query

CadBatchQueryParser and CadBatchQueryEngine support structured searches over loaded documents.

Common query terms include:

  • type: entity or object type
  • layer: layer name
  • name: named table/block/style item
  • handle: CAD handle
  • doc: document name
  • free text terms for broad matching

Export

Batch results can be exported through the batch export service. Formats include CSV and JSON models exposed from ProCad.Core.

Use batch export for:

  • inventory reports
  • layer/entity audits
  • style usage checks
  • regression evidence after renderer or parser changes
