NX How to copy geometry from a drawing into the Modeling application

How to copy geometry inside the same part file from the drawing into 3D 
modeling.

Solution

 While in drafting, 
1. While in Drafting, select 'File-->Export-->Part'. 
2. On the Export Part dialog, 'Part Specification = Existing'. 
3. Select the 'Specify Part' button. 
4. Select the same NX .prt file that is currently open. 
5. OK the Select Part Name dialog. 
6. Select the 'Class Selection' button. 
7. Select the geometry on the drawing to export to Modeling. 
8. OK the Class Selection dialog. 
9. The parameter settings can be modified as needed. 
10. OK the Export Part dialog. 
11. Select 'Start-->Modeling'. 
The geometry from Drafting can now be seen in Modeling. 
NOTE: A 'Fit' operation may be needed.

Notes and References

As of NX8.5 this procedure is automated by using 'Tools-->Copy to 3D'; however, 
the above procedure is still available.
