Is it possible to automatically create the
IPW in a background process immediately after an operation is generated?

Solution
A
Customer Default was added that will cause
NX to transparently create the
IPW as a background process after the tool path is generated. This variable can be enabled by going to
File -> Utilities -> Customer Defaults -> Manufacturing -> Operation -> Automatically Generate IPW in Background.
