How to integrate ASD:Compare in your version control system

November 25, 2011

Starting with the ASD:Suite Release 3 v7.2.0 you can install ASD:Compare, a feature which allows you to find and eliminate differences between two versions of an ASD model or between two related or unrelated models.

Did you know that you can integrate ASD:Compare in your version control system to show the differences between two committed versions of an ASD model?

The following steps describe what you have to do if your version control system is TortoiseSVN:
     Note:You have to update the path to the CompareGui.exe file everytime you install a new(er) version of ASD:Compare.

  • Right-click any folder -> TortoiseSVN -> Settings
  • Choose the “External Programs/Diff Viewer” tree item
  • Click “Advanced”
  • Foreach extension in [“.im”, “.dm”] do
    • Click “Add...”
    • Fill in the extension (including the dot) in the first field
    • Browse to the CompareGui.exe (Note: not Compare.exe) using the “...” button
    • Add double-quotes all around the pathname
    • After the double-quotes, add  %base %mine
      • Now you should have a string like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Verum\ASD Suite Release 3\V7.2.0\CompareGui.exe" %base %mine
        Note: 7.2.0 denotes the version of the used ASD:Compare
