Importing and representing OLE files from DOORS to DNG in 7.0.1

The new approach to import ResIF frile from Doors to DGN makes all ReqIF embedded objects, like icons, images and Excel tables, (all of which we receive a lot of) to be previewed overlaid on an A4 size page, which causes them to shrink and to have to be manually expanded or even downloaded offline for viewing.
Visio files, which we also receive a lot of, are not previewed properly or at all (see the blank rectangle on the right), and require manual downloading and opening with a standalone Office client.

    The issue given in the below Defect should be considered as part of this RFE.

    https://jazz.net/jazz03/web/projects/Requirements%20Management#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=138361

    Description of Problem:
    When importing a REQIF from Doors to DNG - VSD is not being shown properly.
    When customer export a REQIF file from Doors 9.6.1 that should be supported by DNG 7.0.1 as per the URL below:
    https://www.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity-reports/report/html/softwareReqsForProduct?deliverableId=559C403041DE11EA818B9B5C0D21C36D&osPlatforms=AIX|IBM%20i|Linux|Mac%20OS|Windows|z/OS&duComponentIds=D001|S003|S002&mandatoryCapIds=30|9|24|35|13|42|19|26|40&optionalCapIds=133|66|135|7|5|19|137|27|4&_ga=2.137483763.295124712.1603221997-534576802.1596033448&cm_mc_uid=46443579677515961259519&cm_mc_sid_50200000=28057961603375334610

    It shows only an icon instead of showing the preview.

    If they do the same from DOORS 9.7 it works as expected.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1) On DOORS 9.6.1created a module and added a couple of text artifacts
    2) Inserted a VSD file as an object in an artifact and the same VSD as an icon in the other artifact
    3) Confirm that both are properly exported as *.vsd files in the *.reqifz file by clearing all the options in the ReqIF Export Settings
    4) Import this file on DNG 7.0.1 iFix003

    Expected Results:
    See the preview on DNG


    Actual Results:
    It is showing just an icon

    If you do the same using DOORS 9.7 it works properly.
