The problem where user cannot export part lists with "tabs between Columns" option.
If you change the extension of the exported text file(NX11) to xls and open it, it will not open properly.
Solution
In the user workflow, the txt is changed to xls. The user needs to determine whether this is a workflow supported by MS Excel. When a xls or txt file is wizard is opened on mouse double click when a file is directly change from txt to xls.
Note that when such a file is mouse double clicked, a popup message shows that file may be corrupt or have incorrect format.
The txt file export in NX11 follows utf-8 format. Note that the text file exported by NX shows the tabs as before. When file is opened using File-Open in Excel, again the Import Wizard is launched.
In NX11
A possible workaround to allow double click on file extension changed from txt to xls is as follows:
Go to
1) system Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> }Aditional Settings"
2) Copy a tab from from exported txt file (i.e. before changing extension)
opened in notepad and paste it in "List separator" field.
