Hello,
Is anyone out there managing CAD files other than SolidWorks with PDMWorks Workgroup? I know that PDMWorks Workgroup is a good low level PDM for SolidWorks data but we have a lot of 2D CADRA legacy data and a couple of years worth of 3D data UGNX. Storing this data in three different locations has it's limitations. I know it is easy enough to bulk load the 2D data into PDMWorks and use check in and check out. It's the 3D UGNX data that concerns me. I'd like to maintain the relationships between the assemblies, parts and drawings.

PDMWorks Workgroup can handle the 2D Cadra files easily as there are no references to manage. The only caveat is that you will not be able to preview them.
As for the UGNX files, you will not be able to maintain the file references. There are other customers who are managing other non-supported 3D CAD system data and they typically zip the assembly and parts and managed the zip files.
