You may have read it already, but this may be useful to you perhaps.

I don't know how much of it still applies.

The link mentioned at the top of the article now re-directs to VICO.

Absolutely the best thing for comparing DWGs, especially large quantities of them.

For PDFs? Trace!!

'change manager' or 'options manager'?

'change manager' was only ever a part of the 'constructor' suite and was designed to analyse issued DWG files for changes from previous issues.

'options manager' was a different beast entirely - it was an add-on that alluded to the possibility of controlling design changes within the model. in reality it was only ever meant to be able to offer different options on completed designs: more for people bulk selling plans or home-builders, so that they could offer a few variations on the one scheme.

as "whatever" mentioned, 'change manager' is still a part of the 'constructor' suite under vico's control now. 'options manager'? who knows . . .

Being part of the suite was not obvious in the US market, where Change Manager was marketed as a stand-alone product prior to the creation of VICO.

Not only in the US ...

Change Manager is a completely and utterly separate stuff, nothing to do with Archicad, but a lot to do with the reality of construction - or project management, for lead consultants, let's say - and that is comparing gigabytes of DWGs.
