How do i go about creating a user defined tool  

RE: CREATE A TOOL

Search the NX help file for "user defined milling tools".

It will be your first hit.

Remember, these tools are very limited. As of NX6 they can only be used on "Planar Profile" and they can't even be selected in a machine control event.
