Key features of NX X 

Cloud-based design experience 

NX X takes full advantage of cloud technology to revolutionize design and engineering, providing unmatched flexibility and scalability. 

The core capabilities and performance of NX remain unchanged, but the cloud-based management and deployment offer businesses more control, enhanced security and easier software updates. NX X allows organizations to efficiently handle user access, installations and software configurations, reducing the need for extensive IT infrastructure and cutting down on administrative tasks. 

Built-in data management 

NX X facilitates the centralized management of design data, encompassing CAD models, drawings and related documents. This unified system guarantees that every team member can access the latest information and see it all within the user dashboard. 

Integration with Siemens Xcelerator 

Full integration with the Siemens Xcelerator platform enhances collaboration with partners and colleagues globally, streamlining workflows and improving productivity. 

Flexible licensing options 

NX X provides a versatile solution with three tiers of functionality: Design Standard, Advanced and Premium. Each tier enhances a robust core set of features, with optional add-on modules available through value-based licensing (VBL) to customize the solution to your specific needs.

Integrated design features 

Included inside of NX X is a suite of integrated design features that streamline the design process. Users can now track design changes, mark designs as released and update tasks, all within NX X. 

Efficiency and productivity gains – June 2024 

Workflow automation 

Automatic notifications within the NX X interface take the hassle out of collaboration. Get started on design changes as soon as the data is ready with instant updates as parts move through a workflow. 

Focus on design 

By integrating collaboration tools directly into the CAD workspace, NX X allows designers to stay focused on their core tasks. This leads to more efficient use of time and resources, enabling designers to apply their specialized skills where they are most needed. 

Tracking and traceability 

The named user environment within NX X provides comprehensive tracking and traceability for all project activities. This keeps teams organized and projects on schedule, ensuring that all work is completed to the highest standards.
