AutoCAD 2021 has several new features that give us more insight into our drawings. One of these features is the XREF Compare function. It allows us to compare two drawings with one another, and with special colors and controls, we can identify the differences and similarities between the drawings. XREF Compare can be used on local files and files in a cloud program that works with AutoCAD.

We can quickly analyze our drawings and their revisions by using the XREF Compare tool in AutoCAD 2021. For more information, please contact us at info@ddscad.com
