5.12.13.6.1. Design parts in
NX via path structure and "Stock" function
In NX Routing Mechanical, it is possible to create a path structure with start, end and node points (ports/anchors ) and then wrap these with pipes, for example, using the stock function. On the CNS side, the ports correspond to connection points. Parts exported from PARTsolutionsbehave like native NX parts and can be integrated directly into assemblies.
