If you go Edit - Feature- Remove parameters you can "kill" the Pattern Geometry feature.
The lines will then be totally non parametric and will not be visible in the part navigator.
Sales of used software are not popular by the software companies, normally they want to sell the software "as new".
The real problem is the license which is locked to a specific server.
The license is not impossible to crack but be aware that Siemens is tracing illegal copies and will knock on...
I assume the picture is an illustration to the question? Else you would do this specific model in 2 features, 1 extrude and 1 blend.
There is a very old command Sheet from Curves, ( + 30 years old command , it will not be updated.)
It will create all planar sheets in one go, but non associative...
Create a datumplane in the center of each pair ( The bisector plane) use the datum planes instead for the constraint. ( Touch/Align since it's 1 on 1)
If you anyway are to write code for this, you would be using ootb functionality and full associativity.

NX plotting was inherited when UGS merged with SDRC in the beginning of the 2000's
The reason it's "kind of special" is that it's built to work on many operating systems, Siemens/ UGS did support both Unix and Mac os at the time.
I guess that Siemens keeps it but will not touch it anymore.
Have you tried to re-select the Origin curve ?
In this case , it seems that maybe a Through Curves feature with the option Normal to end sections might do the job.
I do not understand the question. Do you want to plot in 1:1, that 920 mm should be 920 mm on paper ?
or should the 920 become 152 on paper ?
Unless you like pain, stay away from the plotting in NX....
Export to pdf and print from the pdf, that saves you headaches.
This guy does very good videos.
If he has done any for your specific tasks unknown.

There used to be very good videos produced by (what i think was an Australian reseller) Phoenx-something but i can no longer find these.

Arrangements can be used for exploded views but can do some more.
Exploded views only does what the name states. It's an exploded depiction of an assembly , preferrably on a drawing.
Arrangements can suppress components, have arrangement specific positions and arrangement specific assembly...
I am pretty sure it was NX8.5
NX 8.5 was some kind of "diplomatic smoke and mirrors release"... , I guess Siemens had promised to deliver some specific function in "version 8" and then that got delayed but to keep the promise, it was delivered in 8.5, not 9 ... :-)
if you go "inspect" you can drag the cursor over the model and see the wall thickness where the cursor are.
The "Section" function can be used to show the wall thickness, it will not measure but you can drag the section to view.
I once saw a battery powered vacuum cleaner which was to be produced in three option levels, something like "Base model with a less powerful engine, midrange high power and large battery", high end with lights and adjustable speed".
The guys who developed this had modeled this in the same...
Many years ago i saw this behavior on computers where the user had installed a gaming mouse driver, to run NX with this "multi-button mouse".
One we uninstalled that driver the problem disappeared. ( the extra buttons no longer had any function but the delays disappeared.)

NX implemented automatic reference sets maybe 10-15 years ago.
There are settings in the customer defaults to define what should be included in the model reference set.
The model reference set is automaticly created and used when adding components depending on these settings.
When you make...
