  11) Open the file : "G00247.cgm".
  Workbench : "DMU 2D Viewer"
  12) Click "Compare Drawings" icon. "File Selection"
  dialog box is displayed.
  13) Select "G00247_A.cgm" file.
  14) Click "Open". "Compare Drawings" dialog box

  18) Magnify the preview display 350%. The curves
  are rough.
  RESULT:
  The curves are rough. (Those are generated by the

Comments

• AS THE R19 DOCUMENTATION HAS BEEN FREEZED
  SO MODIFICATION HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN R20
  ONLINE DOCUMENTATION
  Incident Diagnosis:
  THE CURVES OF COMPARE DRAWING OF CGM
  FILES ARE ROUGH WHEN PRINTED
  Correction Explanation:
  The explanation has been delivered in R20
  documentation.
  Documentation Reference:
  R20online documentation
  \DMU Navigator
  \DMU 2D Workshop
  \Comparing Drawings
  MODIFICATION:
  Added following text as suggested in the free text:
  "The Compare Drawings window is pixel based
  even for input vector based formats like CGM. The
  precision of the comparison depends on the size of
  the window and the current zoom."
