Method and apparatus for identifying differences in vector graphic files

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for identifying differences in vector graphics files. A set of vector graphics file pairs are retrieved, wherein each vector graphics file pair in the set includes a first vector graphics file and a second vector graphics file. The first vector graphics file is compared with the second vector graphics file in each vector graphics file pair in the set using a one or more rules to form one or more comparisons. Differences are identified between the first and second vector graphics file in each vector graphics file pair in the set based on the comparisons. A merged file is created for each vector graphics file pair in the set containing differences from the comparisons to form results. The results are displayed in a graphical user interface after creating the merged file.
