checking out package/ get latest

[yiki]

why When I check out a package it also get latest version of that package?

I wana try to check out a package and than "merge to baseline" not both at the same time

Yes AFAIK it will do a getLatest before enabling writing.
If you want to avoid that you'll have to checkout the file from your version control system (outside of EA) and then synchronize the status.

Thanks Geert! (that helps)

i'm using ver. 9.2 and I ask that question because I was able to comapre the package to latest version of that package.

do you any method or trick! that let you compare to any version of the pcakage you want? (without the use of "create a baseline)

I think I got it please correct me if I'm wrong.

Package Control --> File history--> select version and press "retrieve"
not  "checkout" since "checkout" will make that the selected version the latest which means you can't see any difference when you say "compare to version controll".

So when you click "retrieve" I was able to to compare to the latest one.

Is there any way to compare ANY 2 revisions(not with latest)  within EA? If not than how would guys usually compare 2 versions (in a third party VC!! and how would you tell the exact difference)?

Note: I'm trying to use the built in comaprisons one for a simple reason coz EA provide a "list" of changes and sometimes "graphical" for diagrams.

Thanks

The only way I know it to use a copy of the model. Then import one of the two versions into the model, and then compare to the other version the usual way.
