All of a sudden my drawing in part studio disappeared, although it is still visible in the assembly page. How to solve ?

A drawing will always be in a drawing tab. There is no drawing in an assembly nor in a part studio. Are you sure you are talking drawings, or do you possibly mean sketches?
You are right, it is the sketches and extrusions in the part studio tab.
There are a few 'natural' disappearings happening in the part studios: Once you extrude a sketch, you will see the extrusion, and the sketch as well as guide curves possibly used will be set to hidden. You can show them again from the featrure tree. Also, if you use the extrude feature with the remove option, the sketch will be hidden, but you might not see anyting extruded. Are there possibly any featurees turning red in your feature tree? If you use a boolean operation, the body used as a tool will disappar unless you use the "Keep Tools" option to stop it.
If there is a deeper mystery to be revealed, it might be a good idea to share your file in question here. ;0)
Martin, thanks for your reply. I had a couple of red features, which I removed, to see what happens, but no apparent change. The file is now ruined anyway, so it does not make sense to forward it. But I have kept a few copies, where I can still work from. If the same thing happens again, then I will forward it to you, if you do’nt mind. But thanks for your help anyway
regards Wim
@wim_blom438 ,
You don't need to make copies of files or delete documents when things go wrong in Onshape! You document isn't "ruined", you just have to go back in the history to when you were last happy with it and "restore" that to keep going.

That is something I have figured out after the fact. I am still in a kind of learning phase with onshape, so appreciate the feedback I am getting from more experienced users. Thanks for your reply anyway.
