In this post, we\u2019ll explore the latest updates to Customization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"customize-your-experience-to-fit-your-style-your-workflow-and-your-goals\"><strong>Customize your experience to fit your style, your workflow and your goals<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\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 | Customization\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QL5OD1nlKng?feature=oembed\" 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>From interface upgrades to cloud-based settings, Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 gives you more control over your design environment. Configure your Parts Library to match your workflow, toggle to Dark Theme for visual comfort and streamline your modeling with redesigned command bars that reduce clicks and clutter. Undo\/redo support for visibility commands adds flexibility when working with large assemblies and cloud-saved settings ensure a consistent experience no matter where or how you work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"configurable-columns-in-parts-library\"><strong>Configurable columns in parts library<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Parts Library now includes configurable columns, allowing you to add, remove and reorder them for a personalized layout. Users can quickly sort and locate parts by metadata and properties, making it easier to find the information you need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Data Management users, this is especially useful when working with complex metadata and large assemblies, improving both productivity and accuracy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dark-theme\"><strong>Dark theme\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Dark Theme in Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 offers a clean, modern look that\u2019s gentle on the eyes and built for comfort. It helps users stay sharp and focused, even when working late or in low-light settings.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enabling Dark Theme is effortless\u2014simply open the Helpers section in the Solid Edge Options dialog. With just one click, your workspace transitions into a modern, focused environment that enhances visibility and lets you keep your creative momentum.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the sleeker look, Dark theme minimizes glare and blue light exposure, improving readability while extending battery life on OLED displays. It\u2019s a small change that makes a big difference, letting users design comfortably and efficiently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"redesigned-vertical-command-bars\"><strong>Redesigned vertical command bars<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The vertical command bars have been optimized to reduce empty space and deliver a cleaner, more space-efficient interface. The result is a smoother experience with quicker access to commands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frequently used tools such as Circle, Rectangle and Line now feature clear, easy-to-recognize icons instead of dropdown menus, improving accessibility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pathfinder icons in the part, assembly, and sheet metal environments have been upgraded to scalable SVG format, delivering sharper visuals, consistent quality at any resolution, and an improved overall design experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With fewer clicks needed, the redesigned commands make part modeling and assembly creation faster while optimizing the design environment for a more efficient workflow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"undo-redo-for-show-hide\"><strong>Undo\/redo for show\/hide<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Undo and Redo support for Show\/Hide commands is now available in both the Assembly and Part environments, delivering a meaningful boost to usability and control. This enhancement makes it easier to explore large, complex models\u2014allowing users to hide or show parts without worrying about losing their place or disrupting their workflow.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, visibility changes couldn\u2019t be reversed after using Show\/Hide commands, making it difficult to recover from accidental or exploratory edits. With the new Undo\/Redo functionality, users can now instantly backtrack or reapply changes, streamlining the design process and reducing manual rework.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This improvement adds flexibility for users working with detailed assemblies or part files. The result is smoother navigation, fewer interruptions, and a more intuitive design experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"settings-and-preferences-in-the-cloud-in-designcenter-x-solid-edge-and-designcenter-solid-edge-hybrid-saa-s\"><strong>Settings and preferences in the cloud in Designcenter X Solid Edge and Designcenter Solid Edge hybrid-SaaS<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Solid Edge settings and preferences can now be automatically restored from the cloud, maintaining a consistent user environment across devices. Named user licensing eliminates machine dependency, enabling engineers to work anywhere, anytime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature is especially valuable in hybrid and remote environments, ensuring the same experience across all machines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By offering greater flexibility and convenience, it supports evolving user expectations for managing design environments across devices and locations.&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<p>\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\"><a><\/a><a><\/a><a><\/a><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\u00a0<\/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\u00a0<\/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>From interface upgrades to cloud-based settings, Designcenter Solid Edge 2026 gives you more control over your design environment.
