Need help in importing a part containing a spreadsheet.
We use NX 7.5.
When I import the part (say A) in another part (say B), all the features and expressions from part A are imported but the modeling spreadsheet is omitted. Part B is an existing part and has existing geomtry and cannot be overwritten.
All help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Spreadsheet data is NOT importable. The best that you could do would be to open the Spreadsheet in Part A, extract the contents into a text file or do a SAVE-AS and create a standalone spreadsheet. Then after you've done the Import, open the Spreadsheet function in Part B and 'copy & paste' the contents from the text file/spreadsheet exported from Part A. Now you will have to edit this data since any imported Expressions from Part A into Part B will have been 'hashed' to prevent possible conflicts with duplicate names.
