So i would be able to "plot" all the centroids for one part number, then place the extrusion on all of those points, and then repeat for all other components.

I am working on getting the data, i will send you that info when i can get a hold of someone.
I can't help you with generating the sketch from an Excel file, but in Solidworks, you'd use the "Sketch Driven Pattern" tool once you've plotted all of the centroid locations. I'm sure NX5 has something similar.
