PDMWorks Workgroup-MS Excel and Image files

PDMWorks Workgroup-MS Excel and Image files

(OP)
Hello,
We're ready to flip the switch for production using PDMWorks. My question is how stable is the vault handling MS Excel and image files (.gif, .jpg, .bmp etc...) imbedded into a SW drawing? Will they somehow vanish down the road with new releases of SW? I would like to know if folks had problems in the past.

Thanks,

the only problems I have seen is SolidWorks that don't know how to use Excel try to change the tables and mess them up. Other than that it works great. No issues with pics.

Colin,
The vault is very stable handling MS Excel files imbedded into a SW drawing. We have been doing it for years without issues.
