I'm in NX6 and I cannot open your file.

Why 4 axis? This can be manufactured using 3 axis.
What kind of toolpath are you thinkng about? How do you imagine the mill tool should behave? What version of NX you are using? NX7? NX7.5. Definitely not a NX6.
RE: 4 th axis manufacturing
This part is a 3 axis kellering part.
4 axis OR 5 axis will not help in the manufacture of this part.
Use "Fixed axis contour" to cut it.

Sorry. Kellering is also known as;
-Ruling
-Stitching
-Hemstitching
-3D milling
-Contouring
-Generating
-Ballnosing
Every company calls it something different.

I always called it kellering as well. But, I was working with a Brit doing turbine machining and it became - point milling... yet another. :)

i know that it can be manufactured using 3 axis but i hgave to manufacture it using 4 axis.
any suggestions?
thanks
RE: 4 th axis manufacturing
If you still insist to do the job 4 axis, there shouldn't be a big problem. You can use a mulit-axis operation and suboperation variable contour. You just have to have a good axis control. The best way to control the tool axis would be to use towards line or away form line, where you have to sketch the focal line and the tool axis will be always normal to it. Use a zig-zag pattern just to have movements across the cut surfaces.
Probably there are several other ways to do this. This is one of it.

The big gray thing represents your 4th axis. Either a tombstone or a table.
