GroupDocs.Comparison provides the ability to compare two files in DWG format(or any other supported file formats).

The following are the steps to compare two DWG files

• Instantiate Comparer object with source document path or stream;
• Call add method and specify target document path or stream;
• Call compare method.

The following code samples demonstrate how to compare two DWG files.

try (Comparer comparer = new Comparer("source.dwg")) {
    comparer.add("target.dwg"); // NOTE: Put here actual path to target document
    comparer.compare("result.dwg"); // NOTE: Put here actual path to result document
}

As a result, we get a DWG file where the deleted elements are marked in red, the added – in blue, and the modified – in green.
