View And Compare AutoCAD DWG Drawing Versions

Zee Drive will preserve the version history of your AutoCAD® DWG drawings when saving to a Zee Drive network drive. Your drawing revisions can be recalled using the Zee Drive version history feature.

From the version history you can view the changes made to your drawing, restore older versions, open a version or compare versions using AutoCAD's® drawing compare feature to identify differences between revisions.

Use the Zee Drive version history command to recall your editing history and compare revisions.

After choosing the compare command, AutoCAD® will start up and show the changes between the drawings.

If you have the "Create backup copy with each save" enabled in AutoCAD® then consider setting the ISAVEPERCENT command to 0 as this will ensure that your drawing is uploaded to SharePoint Online with each save.

Zee Drive will not create AutoCAD® BAK files when saving as previous drawing versions are preserved in the DWG version history instead.

The drawing compare feature will work only on a supported version of AutoCAD® and where it is the default associated application for .DWG drawing files.
