Suppressing graphical differences

If the graphical differences between two units are not important to the comparison, you can suppress the graphical differences from the comparison and the differences report.

About this task

With the compared units displayed in IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® DiffMerge, to suppress the graphical differences, choose View > Ignore Graphical Differences to make a check mark show to the left of Ignore Graphical Differences.

Note: You use Ignore Graphical Differences to toggle this feature on and off, but only when Rational Rhapsody DiffMerge is in comparison mode. As soon as you start merging, this menu option is disabled. Therefore, you must determine whether to ignore graphical differences before starting a merge operation.

To merge two classes with different statecharts, use the browser (see Starting a merge operation) or the graphical Rational Rhapsody DiffMerge function (see Using Copy and Paste to merge diagrams graphically for statecharts, activity diagrams, and flow charts).
