Capabilities
Empowering next-gen product design
Designcenter X Solid Edge delivers the robust cloud capabilities you need to thrive in today’s fast-paced design environment. Easily access professional 3D CAD across devices, instantly configure your CAD environment to your preferences, and quickly share data with colleagues, suppliers, and customers. With Designcenter X Solid Edge, the need for IT support is limited, freeing you up to work on productivity-enhancing projects instead of daily system maintenance.
Secure, cloud-based design engineering project collaboration
Complex problems require effective collaboration. Cloud-based software can remove any hurdles standing in the way of finding a solution. Instantly, securely, and easily collaborate with colleagues, partners, and customers with Siemens’ next-generation, cloud-based collaboration solution, Teamcenter Share – now available in Designcenter Solid Edge.

Easy access to CAD from any device
Designcenter Solid Edge follows you wherever you go. Your CAD license can be held on the cloud, and a simple login allows you to create from wherever you are. Teamcenter Share and Designcenter Solid Edge support online CAD file viewing from any device—with browser-based access for viewing CAD files on your phone, tablet, Chromebook, Mac, PC, and more. This makes it easy to move from one device to another, whether at a customer site or from a home office.
A personalized CAD environment at your fingertips
When you switch from one device to another, for example, from using a workstation in the office to a tablet when visiting a customer, you can retrieve your personalized Designcenter Solid Edge environment – including your menu options, colors, units, and drawing standards – with just a few mouse clicks, and quickly complete cloud-based design tasks.
Software updates available on-demand
Instead of searching for, downloading and distributing software updates, you can give users the capability to directly access the latest Designcenter Solid Edge maintenance pack and install it when you choose.
