Comparing 2 drawings

[rcoombs]

I have 2 diagrams which are similar but not identical.  I want to have them side by side on the screen for easy comparison,  or have 1 in the background and the other in a layer so that I can flip between them.  How can I do this?  I greatly appreciate any help, Thanks. RMHC.

You can increase the canvas size.

Hello @rcoombs,

^ This

 

Press Ctrl + Shift + R

 

In the dialog, type in a figure to double the Width dimension. Anchor the  existing image left middle and click OK.

 

Now move one layer to the right so the images appear adjacent.

Hi ANONYMISS,

Thanks for the reply. Yes the 2 images are the same size. I wish to place them side by side on the background if possible for easy comparison.

Hi Ego Eram Reputo,

Thanks for the reply. I have made the additional blank space to the right of my diagram as you said. How can I now get the second image in the blank space I created.? ..........I have just copied & pasted the second image into the blank space QED.   Many thanks for the assist. RMHC.

Activate the layer you want to move by clicking on it in the layers window

Press M to activate the Move tool.

Drag the image sideways or use the keyboard arrows.
