NX command to FreeCAD command
Each NX-Style button carries NX’s name and runs a real FreeCAD command. Hover a button to see the FreeCAD command and its key; the Command Finder searches both names.
Where a cell lists several FreeCAD commands (A or B), the first one that exists in your FreeCAD version is used, so one ribbon serves FreeCAD 1.0 and 1.1.
Buttons marked when available are left off the ribbon when the command is not there: a newer FreeCAD’s command, or Strata’s when Strata is off.
These tables are generated from the ribbon files in NXStyle/nxstyle/resources/ribbons/.

FreeCAD has no thread command for a shaft (PartDesign’s Hole threads only holes).
NX-Style’s Thread (NXStyle_Thread) builds a Detailed thread as a PartDesign Subtractive Helix of a thread profile sketch, and a Symbolic one as a feature that records the thread on the Body (Thread).
NX’s Edit › Move Object (Ctrl+T and the MB3 radial menu) is NX-Style’s Move Object (NXStyle_MoveObject): it moves a Body’s free features and the sketches attached to its origin (FreeCAD 1.1’s PartDesign Boolean ignores a target Body’s Placement), and sets the Placement of Part objects and links (an attached sketch’s or datum’s Attachment Offset) by a typed Distance, Angle or Point to Point motion, and makes copies as new Bodies, static Part features or links.
Its Dynamic motion is FreeCAD’s Transform (Std_TransformManip), which had Ctrl+T before (Move Object).

Studio Spline is FreeCAD’s B-spline group with B-spline by interpolation (Sketcher_CreateBSplineByInterpolation) as its default: NX’s Type Through Points.
NX’s By Poles is B-spline by control points (Sketcher_CreateBSpline) in the button’s drop-down, or From control points in the tool’s panel; the periodic kinds are NX’s Closed (Studio Spline).
