  Is it possible to insert a PDF in a drawing?
  
  Given that there is no support for EXCEL spreadsheet, this could be an acceptable (even if not ideal) workaround.
  
  Thanks!

  Hello Luca
  
  You can only import 3dpdf format in SpaceClaim.
  
  I would recommend you try importing an Image. You can also Vectorise the image.

    Subashni Thanks for your prompt reply.
    
    Vectorise is quite useful for other jobs but in this case I need to insert an Excel table composed of lines, numbers and text.
    
    Vectorise is not a solution here and pasting an image is just a workaround because the result is not clear and sharp as is needed for a table.
    
    I can paste straight from Excel to SC but most of formatting is lost.
    
    I request to add support for 2D PDF and Excel file as OLE attachment.
    
    Thanks again.
