      <p class="para_topic">On selecting an old and new product, the system compares them and geometrically maps faces and edges from the old to the new. All of the existing tasks in the lineup are edited to change the old edges and faces to the new edges and faces. You are then given the opportunity to review the editing performed and make changes as desired in a task edit dialog.
