During part file save in the Modeling Application the following message is
shown:
Save CGM
Parts containing sheets that are not visible will not have a CGM saved with them and existing CGM's will be deleted.
In order to save a CGM the sheet must be displayed at the time of save.

A similar message is shown when exporting a file to CGM or PDF:
Parts containing sheets that are not visible will not have a CGM / PDF exported.
In order to export a CGM / PDF the sheet must be displayed at the time of export.
Solution
The message indicates that when saving a part file the CGM data for the drawing sheets will not be saved if these are not displayed.
When f.i. in the Modeling Application the drawing sheets are not displayed.
When saving the part file in the Modeling Application the drawing CGM will not be saved in the NX part. If any drawing CGM was stored in the part, it will be deleted.
When saving the part in the Drafting Application the CGM data will be saved in the part file.
Outside the Drafting Application the drawing status is not visible. The sheets can be out-of-date. The design has been changed in NX 11.0 to prevent out-of-date sheets to be saved or exported. In the Drafting Application it is still possible to save or export out-of-date drawing sheets. However, in the Drafting
Application the drawing status is visible, so the user is aware of the out-of-date status.
