In the Export NX Assembly panel, choose:

Export Non-Masters – To export the object types specified as Non-Master in the access control list. Export Associated Files – To export files associated with the selected structure. However, based on the exclusion list defined by your administrator, some file types are not exported.

Click Export.

The export operation runs in the background. When the export is complete, a notification is displayed in the Alerts panel.
