NX is in my mind the absolutely best and comfiest CAD out there and it does have tools for class A surfacing, although in IQ they're lacking behind Alias or ICEM. Too many variables, too many settings to click, slow speed, fillet surfaces often wildly segmented, aligning not as smart or accurate, tolerances are overshot very often. It's not as a pleasant ride as it is in ICEM or Alias. But heck it does so much more as a whole.

Tools used (Alias/ICEM similar functions)

Styled blend (Surface fillet/Fillet+)
Enlarge (Extend/Global Extrapolate)

Studio Surface (a wild version of Square/Curves)
Match Edge (Align/Matching)
