We tend to use the import facility in workspace and go project by project as required. Main reason for this is we get a heads up on any issues with the data such as missing reference files where people have been a bit sloppy shall we say with their copy geom etc. and can then make a decision on how to best resolve those issues. Windchill does a very good job of recognising those links to files you may have deleted ./ not saved originally that Pro/E will quite happily ignore when retreiving data.
