File pulling from wrong file

[CstantonXPDU9]

I'm having an issue with drawings pulling the information on parts from old files, when the assembly is pulling from the new file. Is there a settings issue or is it the way I put parts into the drawing?

Check your drawing's model reference. Click the "Select new reference" button and replace to see if that makes a difference:

Do you know what would be causing them to pull from old files?

Not without some background on where those files were all saved and the history of your data.
For example, did you store all of these in Vault, and the parts became inaccessible to the user? Did you have the drawing set to Defer updates (raster)? I'm unsure how to duplicate this issue, so you may need to book a support ticket or hope the quality (QA) folks that check the forum have seen this happening before (and can share an identifiable cause).

Everything is saved in a main file on the server, I can't give you a lot of detail due to the fact it's not me that is having the issue. It's a drafter that we hired and I want to give him the benefit of the doubt but I also can't replicate the issue without loading the parts incorrectly in the drawing.
