NX 6 CAM - how to handle features modeled at MMC and LMC

NX 6 CAM - how to handle features modeled at MMC and LMC

(OP)
Our fabrication shop machines parts for a couple of sister businesses under our umbrella organization.  Often we get STEP/IGES data from them that has features that were modeled to LMC or MMC.  Sometimes a combination of LMC and MMC in the same part.  Without remodeling the part in NX, or using direct modeling to resize features so that the CAD model reflects feature sizes that are in the middle of the designers tolerance window, what is the best approach to handling these situations with NX CAM?
