If you want to verify that the user drawing and the master drawing have the same number of sheets, you call ProDrawingSheetsCount on each and see if they are the same.  How this extends to other attributes you might want to check is particular to each.  You may wish to consider implementing your customization as an extension to ModelCHECK, so you can leverage the checks performed there.  Or not, if yours all require this other reference model to define the desired properties.

    suppose we are opening the TWO (.drw) files in the same session

    It is possible to compare the both the drawings with the API.

    which API should use?

    For the example given,

    int n_sheets1, n_sheets2;

    ProDrawingSheetsCount(p_drw1, &n_sheets1);

    ProDrawingSheetsCount(p_drw2, &n_sheets2);

    if (n_sheets1 != n_sheets2)

      /* difference found */


    For other things you might want to check, you'd call other APIs as appropriate.  Since you haven't said what you're looking to check, it'd hard to give you exact code.
