drawings out of date

Prachi

Why do all drawings associated with a part studio show as out of date when only one part has changed.
This is quite confounding since updates of any drawing take way too long. The circle of death or at least near death.

If you make a change to one part in a Part Studio, it could also change the geometry of any or all of the other parts in that Part Studio, so Onshape requests that you update the drawing. You have two options. If you are sure that the part in the drawing hasn't changed, don't update the drawing. Alternatively, to prevent drawings from updating when changes are being made to other parts in a Part Studio, create a drawing of a version of the part (Document). If that drawing later needs updating, create a second version in the Document and update the drawing by right-clicking the tab at the bottom.

I imagine the logic for the drawing update icon is, "Has any of the featurescript for that part studio changed?" I know it's hard not to hit that yellow update button, but if you don't have to, then perhaps leave it yellow. Or just hit it one last time before the design is "frozen/released"...

@glen_dewsbury, May be it happened due to Onshape built change. Generally it is not happening. Can you please open a support ticket and give some more details to Onshape support team they definitely help you.
