A single product drawing consists of many drawings and is generally stored
in a multi-page PDF file. When the design of the drawing is changed, it
will be a lot of work to compare all the drawings of the old and new drawings
and mark the change accurately. This HP explains PloCVAuto, which automatically
compares a large number of drawings contained in two new and old multi-page
files.

settings.
When you press the "Standby output" button of PloCVAuto, it will
monitor until the old and new multi-page drawing files enter the new and old
folders respectively. Once the files are in, the drawings are overlaid with
different colors for each page, the drawings are compared, changed area marks
are added, and a multi-page file of the specified file type is output to the
output folder.
The old and new input files are deleted when the output is
completed.
This program is free, but PloCompAuto and PloViewAuto licenses are
required.
The necessary programs are as follows.

| Input/output files |
|
(1) Input file
* Maximum file size that can be processed
The
maximum capacity of one input file that can be processed is about 1.8 GB as the
capacity of the input file expanded in the memory of the CPU. This is due to the
limitation of 32bit programs. This capacity is not the file size. The
relationship between file size and memory capacity varies depending on the file
format and data structure, so it is difficult to generalize.
In particular,
when PloView reads a PDF file, if the characters are filled with bag-like
characters made up of fine polygons of Windows, it will consume a lot of memory
if the number of characters is large, so be careful.
Be sure to check whether
it can be processed with the maximum data capacity file you have before putting
it into practical use.

* Input file type
Input file types are PDF, TIFF,
SXF(.p21), SXF(.sfc), HPGL, and are multi-page files.
Please register the
extension for each file type of the input file by pressing the "Input file
extension" button in the setting dialog.
An error will occur if a file with
an unregistered extension is entered.
*Insert input file
For the input
files, prepare two files with the same file name as the comparison source and
the comparison destination, and put them in the "Comparison file 1" folder and
"Comparison folder 2" of the setting dialog.
Input files can also be entered
using Explorer or other applications.
It can be before starting PloCVAuto or
while it is running.
After
processing is complete, the input file is automatically deleted.
* Input file page conditions for
comparison
Since the input file is a multi-page file, multiple pages exist in
one file.
The two files to be compared must have the same number of
pages.
Since the same pages are compared, if the number of pages is not the
same, and if there is no page in either file, the page will not be compared and
the page will not be output.
If a page is deleted or added by drawing change,
the page number of the same drawing will be shifted from the other file.
To
avoid this, when you delete a page, do not delete it, but make it blank (no
graphics).
When adding a page, please insert a blank page on the same page of
the other party's file.
Automatically searches for an input file with the
same name as the file set in "Comparison file 1" in the setting dialog, and
outputs the file if the same name is in "Comparison folder 2".
You can use
wildcards (any character string is detected in place of the "*" character) in
the file name of "Comparison File 1".
Example: C:\HpglData\InData\*.hgl
In this case the folder name is "C:\HpglData\InData\"
Search for files with all file names and the extension ".hgl".
(2) Output file
Compares the same
pages of the two input files, and outputs a file with cloud marks in the changed
parts.
The output file type will be the type selected in "Output type" on the
main screen.
The output file types are PDF, TIFF, SXF(.p21), SXF(.sfc), HPGL,
and are multi-page files.
The output file name is as follows.
PDF
: input file name.pdf
TIFF : input file name.tif
SXF(.p21) :
Input file name.p21
SXF(.sfc) : input file name.sfc
HPGL :
Input file name.hgl
The output destination will be the folder set in "Output
destination folder name" in the setting dialog.

When this button is pressed, the folder containing "comparison file 1" is
periodically monitored, and if a file is entered, it searches for the same file
name in "comparison folder 2", and if so, divides the two files into pages.
After that, the drawings are compared for each page, and a multi-page file that
combines each page into one file is output to the "output folder". After
completion, it will automatically delete the two input files it processed. Then
go back to the beginning and repeat. If the file does not exist, wait for the
waiting time.

The work of copying the input file to the folder
containing "comparison file 1" and "comparison folder 2" can be done using
Explorer or another dedicated application for copying. You can copy this input
file before starting PloCVAuto, or you can start PloCVAuto and do it during
"standby output".
The input file will disappear after the standby output, so please copy the input file to another folder in advance.
