What if you could access and edit Designcenter X NX designs from anywhere — without needing to install software or having to rely on a powerful workstation? With Designcenter X NX Web Editing, now you can.
This new capability, included in all Designcenter X NX tiers, gives engineers the freedom to open and modify CAD models directly from a browser on any device. Whether you’re on the shop floor, at home or collaborating with a customer or supplier, Designcenter X NX Web Editing helps you stay productive — without sacrificing data integrity or performance.
Work where you are
Designcenter X NX Web Editing is designed to support hybrid and flexible work environments and styles. Start a design in the office, make updates on your tablet in the field and polish the final version on your desktop — without disrupting your workflow. Because it’s browser-based, there’s no need for downloads, installs or specialized hardware.
- Access Designcenter X NX from your browser
- Edit models, drawings, CAM paths and performance simulations
- Maintain full fidelity — no translation required
Stay connected across teams
Sharing designs for review or feedback has never been easier. Collaborate live or let others jump in when it’s convenient for them.
- View and markup models from any device
- Invite stakeholders to review or contribute, even without a license
- Lock files for editing to prevent version conflicts
- Team members with an Designcenter X NX license can edit too — right from their browser
Familiar flexibility — Now for engineering
If your team uses tools like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, you’re already familiar with the flexibility of working in a browser — reviewing a Word doc on your phone, editing a PowerPoint deck from your tablet or updating a spreadsheet in real time. Designcenter X NX Web Editing brings that same flexibility to engineering workflows.
- Just like Word or Excel in a browser, Designcenter X NX Web Editing gives you on-demand access from anywhere — no installation required.
- Move between web and desktop seamlessly — just like saving a PowerPoint presentation from Teams and finishing edits in the desktop app.
- Collaborate across departments or organizations with built-in sharing, markup and version control — no extra IT setup needed
For engineers, it’s the same concept — with the power and precision of NX behind it.
One unified environment
Designcenter X NX Web Editing works seamlessly with desktop Designcenter NX. You can move between web and desktop without worrying about file compatibility or losing progress; Siemens Connector looks after the desktop synchronization. Just make sure your desktop NX is up to date — the web version always is.
Seamless design across Desktop and Web — work anytime, anywhere
And if you’re using built-in data management powered by Teamcenter, when you’re done, simply import your design back into your managed flow; metadata, revisions and lifecycle statuses stay intact.
