It greatly depends on what you mean by "compare". How would you think to
be
doing this in a scientific, statistical way? I think it's likely possible
to
use a DXF as section geometry to produce a model based on that geometry.
And
it is possible, given this second part, to do an 'Analysis>Compare Part>By
geometry' (your part, DXF generated part, with each other). Obviously,
problem solved if the results come back "parts are the same". If not, what
deviation are you prepared to accept and why is the DXF-generated geometry
more correct or authoritative than the Pro/e-generated model? And, if you
doubt the Pro/e geometry, isn't this based on the weakness of vendor
ver/val
data? And what's the relevance? If this is to program a plama cutter, the
allowable
variation of the cutter is an order of maginitude greater than that
between
the
digital models. So, it also depends on the application.
