  1. From the Compass, click the Compare widget icon.
  2. In the Compare widget, search for and drag two BOM structures into the widget window.
    The Compare widget displays the two BOM structures side by side with common and unique objects color-coded. If the BOM structures are synchronized, the comparison is shown graphically in the 3DViewer.

    You can also display BOM Properties. In the Compare widget toolbar, select the Show Properties Table command to compare properties of the two BOM structures.

    For instructions and more information on comparing objects, see The Compare Widget and the Compare widget User's Guide.

    Note: Configured BOM Comparisons show complete 150 percent BOM.
