Exporting unreferenced coordinate systems from NX advanced simulation

Exporting unreferenced coordinate systems from NX advanced simulation

Exporting unreferenced coordinate systems from NX advanced simulation

(OP)
     I use NX 6 but do have access to 7.5 if this feature is available in 7.5.
     NX does not seem to want to export coordinate systems to the NASTRAN input file unless they are referenced by something like a point mass. I need these coordinate systems later on and need them to be exported. Is it possible to force NX to write all coordinate systems (cord2r cards) when writing the NASTRAN input file, even though they may not be referenced by anything.   

ps
The tedious workaround that I have to use is artificially referencing the coordinate systems (with something like a point mass or nodal coordinate system) then manually editing the NASTRAN input file. This method is painful to say the least.
