Im, thinking about trying to create macro to compare to revisions of a drawings.

I plan to have the macro export all of the drawing properties (number of sheet, dimension names, value, notes, view names, etc.) for each revision to an array. Then compare the two arrays for differences. When the difference is found it would change item in the revised drawing to a different layer.

Has any one attempted to do something like this?
Or is this beyond the scope of VBA?

I feel a macro like this would cut our drawing checking time in half.

Have you looked at the "Drawing Compare" utility under the Tools menu?

Yes,

I have looked at the drawing compare tool. However the drawings compare tool only compares the active sheets.
This is impracticle for my application all of our drawings have multiple sheets.
