As of V12 SP1 the NX interface supports sweeps created with "guide curve".

Example:

  1. In PARTdesigner, in the context menu, in a Plane, click the command Create guide curve....

  2. Draw the Guiding curve and do not forget to set the Pattern origin.

    -> In the 3D History, the Guiding curve is displayed.

  3. In the context menu of Guiding curve, click Create sweep base.

    -> Respective dialog area is opened.

  4. Under Start sketch, click Create.

  5. Create the cross-section sketch.

  6. Now under Start sketch a green checkmark is shown and you can see a 3D preview. Close the dialog by clicking OK.

    -> The created guiding curve is displayed in the 3D preview.

  7. Export the part to NX.
