Our dedication to improving user experience (UX) is no exception. Our latest UX overhaul has set a new benchmark for intuitive design, usability, and user-centric solutions and is an important step in enhancing the productivity, collaboration, and innovation of electronics engineers. This modern UX redefines the way PCB designers interact with their eCAD tools. Let\u2019s look at four key features I love, and dive into why I feel they make this new Siemens UX a game-changer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sleek and intuitive interface<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing that stands out is the modern and clean design of the interface. Siemens has adopted a minimalist aesthetic that is not only visually appealing but also highly functional. Navigation menus are streamlined, icons are intuitive, and key functions are just a few clicks away. This simplicity ensures that both new and experienced users can quickly adapt to the system, reducing the learning curve significantly. It\u2019s built with the user in mind, making everything feel smooth and straightforward, with a focus on simplicity and usability. Simplified menus and toolbars reduce clutter, allowing users to focus on their tasks without distractions, or wasting time hunting around the tool for specific commands. This modern approach not only enhances productivity so that users can focus on getting things done instead of figuring out how to use the tools but also makes onboarding new users faster and easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customizable workspaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is personalization at its best! The new UX takes customization to the next level. Users can customize (personalize) their workspaces and settings to match their specific needs and preferences to suit their workflow, improving efficiency. You have the ability to take commands that are infrequently used and push them aside so they&#8217;re not in the way and take commands that you use every day and bring them up to the front so that you can access them very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2025\/01\/UX-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Next generation electronic systems design UX\" class=\"wp-image-10012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2025\/01\/UX-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2025\/01\/UX-1-600x337.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2025\/01\/UX-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2025\/01\/UX-1-395x222.png 395w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2025\/01\/UX-1-900x506.png 900w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2025\/01\/UX-1.png 1241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Example of personal theme to enhance the next UX experience.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Not only can you customize the commands you see, but you can change the appearance of the skins between light mode and dark mode and chose between different color options.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"523\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2025\/01\/UX-2.png\" alt=\"Available Themes and Control bar options in Xpedition.\" class=\"wp-image-10013\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Available themes and control bar options <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Responsive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Siemens UX is responsive, so it adapts to whatever size screen you have and can look clean across laptops, desktops and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Integrated AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Siemens has leveraged the power of AI and machine learning to deliver efficiencies directly through the UX. An on-the-fly machine learning model analyzes user\u2019s command usage during the PCB design process and predicts the next command likely to be needed based on the last command used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Siemens UX isn\u2019t just another tool, it\u2019s a complete rethink of how we design, engineer and innovate. It\u2019s a testament to our commitment to innovation and user satisfaction. For me to say, \u201cI love this new UX!\u201d is an understatement. I believe it\u2019s a game-changer! By combining an intuitive modern interface with AI-driven support, cloud connectivity, integrated digital threads, and top-notch security, it\u2019s designed to help you do your best work. Whether you&#8217;re a long-time user or new to Siemens systems, the enhanced experience is sure to impress. With its new UX, Siemens isn\u2019t just keeping up with the times, we\u2019re setting the standard for what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dive into why I feel the new Siemens UX is a game-changer for PCB designers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":86822,"featured_media":10014,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spanish_translation":"","french_translation":"","german_translation":"","italian_translation":"","polish_translation":"","japanese_translation":"","chinese_translation":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16,11],"tags":[1828,1843,113,1841,1842],"industry":[],"product":[984],"coauthors":[1673],"class_list":["post-10011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-product-updates","category-featured","tag-1828","tag-next-generation-electronic-systems-design-2","tag-pcb-design","tag-user-experience","tag-ux","product-xpedition-enterprise"],"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2025\/01\/New_UX_1280x720_2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/86822"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10011"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10011\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10016,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10011\/revisions\/10016"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10011"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=10011"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=10011"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=10011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
