Well, if your Save options are set correctly, then you should have jt format already in TC under Item Revision. See attached image.

And why would you like to create drawinw from jt format? In Nx8.5, you have several other options. When you creating a drawing view, you go to View Style. Under General options, you will have new options for View Configuration like (general tab):
Exact (pre-NX8.5)
Exact
Smart Lightweight
Lightweight
When you using Lightweight option, NX will generate a view from a jt. With smart lightweight, you can also dimension the view, create section views, etc.

You just have to know, that this is working for NX8.5 files. If you are using old files (pre Nx8.5), I guess that this function will not work. You will have to refile all the files to NX8.5 version. I think that just Save in NX8.5 is not enough.
 
Hi,Thanks for your suggestion,

I am able to generate JT files for indivisual parts,But I am not able to generate for Assembly file in TC NX.
Purpose of JT is to create arrangement drawings,large assemblie production dwgs and for viewing purpose,So that we can avoid loading time.
