Specifies that all changes to the object definitions in terms of the following aspects are displayed: attributes, assignments, and default symbol.
You can compare model semantics by enabling the option Object definitionand disabling the option Object occurrences (symbols).
In this case, the semantic content is considered to be identical if a model contains two object occurrences, each of which has a connection to two objects, or a model contains one object occurrence with two connections to two objects.
Specifies that all changes relating to the object symbol for the object occurrences are displayed.
You can compare model semantics by enabling the option Object definitionand disabling the option Object occurrences (symbols).
In this case, the semantic content is considered to be identical if a model contains two object occurrences, each of which has a connection to two objects, or a model contains one object occurrence with two connections to two objects.
Specifies that changes of the connection alignment are output. The connection alignment changes if a connection is anchored at a different place at the object (connection anchor point). It also changes if the number of angles of a connection changes. Usually, the connection direction changes at connection angles.
Enables you to select an attribute that serves as a criterion to identify objects as identical. If you select this option, you can also include upper/lower case as well as line breaks and spaces.
Objects can be defined as identical if they are of the same type and have a selected attribute, for example, NAME, that matches. When you use an identical attribute to compare objects, note that the assignment of the objects is not necessarily unique. In this case, you have to ensure uniqueness by means of internal conventions. If the corresponding attribute is not specified, no objects that are the same as this object can be determined because in this case, that would be all objects for which the attribute was not specified.
