(MODE: Nets) 

To compare all nets of the two designs, you have to choose the second tab. 

As you can see, the option tab at the top is disabled. There is no setting you can make to compare nets. 

You can also list only differences with checking the checkbox. 

Comparing nets also possesses different states which can be shown in the result list. The following states are possible:

(Net numbers cannot be used to uniquely identify a net. Net numbers can be changed without changing anything else on the net.)

Result state definition:

• Equal: The results are completely different. Equals are black colored font entries. If there are entries with a blue font, you can see these entries being identical except for the netnames.

(There are nets possessing the same name, but sometimes there are nets without a meaningful netname, so they could be changed. To identify these nets, the blue color has been added.)

(Net numbers are not unambigous. For that reason, they will be ignored in comparison.)

There can also be entries which do have a black font that possess 0% consistency. One of the netnames has to be "no match found". These entries aren´t marked as different as long as they do not have a connection to components.

• Different: Different results do have differences on the net. These results will have a red font and will look like the following picture.

A click on a result will show you some details.

As you can see, there are differences between the components being connected to the net. The red marked entry is completely different to the compared net. The first design has a connection with the "U11-6" (component-pinNr) instead. "Compared Job" also has additional connections with other components, the first "Active Job" does not.

(The different state will be used if the compared nets have a consistency higher than 50%. If they do have less than 50%, they will be stated as "--match found in--")

• --match found in--: If an entry has the state "--match found in--", the entry is different. However, this is so different that the match is less than 50% and is therefore declared differently.
