In this post, we\u2019ll explore the latest updates with Assembly and Productivity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What&#039;s new in Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 | Assembly modeling and management\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yBCbyZbhmWU?list=PL1m1vu8_quoBaPb7FKANS_cMHgUQlHRqM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Magnetic Snap Assembly command uses built-in AI to automatically snap and constrain components to faces or edges. Instead of manually assigning mates one by one, you can now quickly align parts with multiple mates at once. Supporting five snapping geometries: planar, cylindrical, straight edge, circular edge and coordinate systems. This feature dramatically speeds up the assembly process and removes the hassle from constraint management.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"customize-views-with-part-display-configurations\"><strong>Customize views with Part Display Configurations<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/10\/Picture72-1024x621.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18236\" style=\"width:458px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/10\/Picture72-1024x621.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/10\/Picture72-600x364.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/10\/Picture72-768x466.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/10\/Picture72-900x546.png 900w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/10\/Picture72.png 1330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Clear communication starts with the right visuals. With new Part Display Configurations, you can toggle the visibility of specific elements on or off to create multiple variations of a part or assembly all within a single document. Whether you\u2019re preparing data for manufacturing, simplifying views for design reviews or focusing on a particular detail, these configurations give you the flexibility to show exactly what matters, without changing the actual geometry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"reuse-geometry-more-effectively-with-part-copy-enhancements\"><strong>Reuse geometry more effectively with Part Copy enhancements<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"775\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/10\/Picture73-1024x775.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18237\" style=\"width:516px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/10\/Picture73-1024x775.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/10\/Picture73-600x454.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/10\/Picture73-768x582.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/10\/Picture73-1536x1163.png 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/10\/Picture73-900x682.png 900w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/10\/Picture73.png 1903w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The enhanced Part Copy tools make it easier to reuse and manage geometry across assemblies. You can now include coordinate systems, sketches and reference planes when creating part copies ensuring alignment, accuracy and consistency throughout your design. With precise positioning, mirroring and a clear element list to track multiple copies, these improvements simplify complex assemblies and reduce repetitive work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"communicate-with-impact-using-visual-explode-improvements\"><strong>Communicate with impact using visual explode improvements<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Exploded views are one of the most powerful ways to communicate how products come together. The new Visual Explode Enhancements let you capture exploded assemblies as display configurations for use in drawings, images and animations. Break down assemblies into their individual parts with more precision, maintain relationships and create compelling visuals for documentation, assembly planning and even marketing presentations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"smarter-assembly-workflows-from-start-to-finish\"><strong>Smarter assembly workflows from start to finish<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, these updates give you greater flexibility, accuracy and control over your assemblies. From AI-driven assembly creation to customizable part displays and improved communication tools, Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 helps you work faster, collaborate more effectively and deliver designs with confidence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These and many other new features in Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 were unveiled during our live premiere on October 22.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6BJqzcQ3mqE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Catch the replay on-demand \u2192<\/a>\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u202f&nbsp;<br>For a deeper look at what\u2019s new in Designcenter Solid Edge 2026,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/plm.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/solid-edge\/introducing-solid-edge-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click here.<\/a>\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"join-the-conversation\"><strong>Join the conversation<\/strong>\u202f&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are\u202fa lot of\u202fways to\u202fhear\u202fwhat others are saying about the upcoming release\u202fand\u202fto\u202fconnect with\u202fother\u202fSolid Edge enthusiasts\u202fonline.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few ways to join the conversation right now:\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6BJqzcQ3mqE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Watch the\u202f Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 launch event<\/strong><\/a>, streamed live on October 22.\u202f&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep up with #SolidEdge\u202fon\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/solidedge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/a>,\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/SiemensSoftware\/playlists?view=50&amp;sort=dd&amp;shelf_id=8%22%20\\t%20%22_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>YouTube<\/strong><\/a>\u202fand\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/products\/siemenssoftware-solid-edge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>LinkedIn<\/strong><\/a>\u202f&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join our\u202fonline\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/community.sw.siemens.com\/s\/topic\/0TO4O000000MihiWAC\/solid-edge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Solid Edge Community<\/strong><\/a>\u202fto connect with other Solid Edge users<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accelerate design with Magnetic Snap Assembly&nbsp;
