You can create a Drawing Parts List and then Export that using any one of several common formatting schemes, such as a text file with comma delimited columns, which would then be easy to load into a spreadsheet.

There is another way, you may call it 'quick and dirty'. I am not in front of my NX at the moment and can't give you the detailed description, but basically you can add custom columns to the Assembly Navigator that would show the needed attributes, and then right-ckick the header bad of the Assembly Navigator and choose 'Export to Spreadsheet'.

I'm not aware of an explicit option to Export the contents of the Parts List note to a Spreadsheet. Rather the Export option is as I described it in my first response in this thread on 7 May.
