Summary Report
The Summary Report gives a textual overview of the results of a Detailed Compare Job. Use this command if your current AutoCAD drawing is a CompareDWG result drawing, it will then display the Summary Report that belongs to this comparison. Notepad is needed to display the report.
Important: reports will be deleted together with other temporary files. If you want to keep a report, make sure that you save it in another directory. You can do this by opening the report, then select File / SaveAs from its menu.
