    Work flow from NX to MasterCAM using JT files

    We are starting the transition to NX from Solid Edge. One aspect we are looking at is the JT file format, having our PMI data on the 3d model, eliminating 2d drawings (I am not very impressed with the NX drafting package). I have tried looking online for a work flow from creating the JT file...

    Microsoft Office documents, word and excel in drawing

    Is there a future NX release that will allow a Microsoft word or excel spreadsheet to be embedded in a drawing? It seems to be fairly common with other cad packages, including Solid Edge.
