Mike, it's great to hear positive news about managing Pro/E files and family tables in PDMLink - particularly as we're taking our next step towards the plunge. We now have a PDMLink server in production, though Pro/E files are still managed by multiple Intralink 3.4 servers.
As we test Pro/E with PDMLink, I can see these forums coming in handy!

We've been using PDMLink in place of Intralink 3.x for almost 3 years now, heavily based on all Pro/E functionality including family tables for both components and assemblies.
All related to Family Tables does in fact work ok in PDMLink/Intralink 9 - but some best practices are definitely needed, and some concepts are very different, requiring user retraining and some modification of processes. The terminology gets in the way a bit (same words used with different meanings / different words used for same meanings) but eventually the new terms sink in.
