'Bulk Update' to a version - For drawings
Does anyone know if this exists? I'm referencing versions of partss in my drawing views for my parts so that the overall document runs faster, but the problem now is that every time I version the document, all of my drawings need updating. It's about 12 main drawings (with more to come, so probably close to 50), so it's a lot of time wasted when I have to:
1. Click each drawing tab to activate it
2. Right-click, select Update linked document
3. Update the document.
4. Rinse, repeat.

To clarify what @S1mon is saying, there is no performance benefit to referencing versions for drawings (but there is for parts and assemblies, and especially with derived parts)…
So the solution is to reference the workspace in drawings and this allows you to update all of them easily using the tip above.

Drawings always are referencing a version, or micro-version. If you make changes to the parts, you have to update the drawing tab. You can update all the drawing tabs at once, with or without creating a new version.

That makes sense, but for some reason, if my drawings referenced the workspace, the whole document was really laggy, particularly when updating the main assembly BOM. Moving to referencing versions in the drawings seemed like it fixed the problem. Looks like the issue might be some issue somewhere else, then. I'll change my drawings to reference the workspace again and report back.
