Not that I'm aware of, but we're working on something like that in Modeling which will provide the ability to create a 'Swept Volume' which would simulate a milling tool moving in space and creating a solid representing that 3D 'space'. Unfortunately it's currently an R&D project but it may be released in one of the later MR's planned for the NEXT version of NX, that will be released later this year.
