Hi Frank,
There is not anything that will do this in the Inventor API directly.
One idea would be to have two functions. One would save the current state of the drawing writing information into an attribute on each dimension. The second function would then use the stored information to compare against the current state of the drawing and highlighting any dimensions that are different.
These post have a good discussion and examples using attributes:

The CenterAllDimensions() example in the Inventor API demonstrates how to access dimensions from the Inventor API.
Thanks,
Wayne
