I sense a pattern coming up with this. As far as I know (I haven't worked that much with NX) NX uses a proprietary file structure, and Autodesk as well. You can translate NX into STEP files, or another "dumb" file type, but you'll get exactly that: an untreatable mass of geometry.
Maybe someone has some more insight on how you can re-use that kind of file ?
Are the files of assemblies or individual parts?
Are the files of solid bodies or surface bodies.
Of course any "mass of geometry" is "treatable".

I kind of feel like I stepped on some toes here. I, for one, hate working with step files (or parasolids of any kind) because they are not parametric. I know that with the more recent releases users can push and pull faces and manipulate non-parametric solids, and they *are* therefore treatable. I may have used a stronger word than I should.
The user can always build on the imported solid and work with it, but at the base it is still a "dumb" solid. Good luck to you, and I promise I'll moderate my outbursts
Depending on the geometry - there might also be the option of running Feature Recognition http:\\labs.autodesk.com
