engineering/understand/diff.py reads each revision once into entity
records and matches them in three stages: exact signature (type, layer,
geometry rounded to tol, text, block, rotation, scale, attributes;
handles ignored), then handle while at least half of the exact matches
kept theirs, then type + layer + nearest anchor within move_tol (default
2 % of the 1st-99th percentile diagonal). The report counts changes by
layer and type, says what changed per entity (moved by, text, attribute,
radius ... from -> to), compares named block definitions by content and
groups the changes into clusters.
drawing_diff opens group D's copy of SECTION 26. It is read-only unless
markup=True, which files revision clouds around the model-space clusters
on the current document through add_revision - refused before any read
with new_path, without a valid rev, or on an engine without revcloud.
A revision path that is neither .dxf nor .dwg is refused naming the
parameter (old_path: / new_path:), like every other path refusal.
Tests: the synthetic plant P&ID edited five ways (a move, a text, an
attribute, an add, a delete) under renumbered handles reports exactly
those five edits; renumbering alone reports nothing.
