Large-scale systems are now predominantly developed across distributed companies, departments, and locations.
Next Design is equipped with various support features, such as workload partitioning designed for multi-team development and integration with configuration management systems.
-
Check differences before and after changes in a multi-view
You can identify changes by comparing differences with past projects or revisions.
Because diff views also support multi-views, you can intuitively verify from various perspectives that your intended changes have been correctly applied as expected.
-
Divide design tasks by splitting into multiple files
Design information can be split into arbitrary file units by the user. By splitting into files, multiple teams can work in parallel or reuse them as a base for separate projects.
Because you can provide only the necessary files for each assigned team and design accordingly, work can be divided according to the scope of responsibility even in multi-company development such as outsourced development.
Split files can be further divided into smaller parts and organized hierarchically in subfolders, enabling flexible operation tailored to your team structure.
-
Integration with Configuration Management Systems
Next Design integrates tightly with Git and Subversion, allowing you to complete operations such as making commits and checking history directly within Next Design.
-
Smooth operation even in large-scale projects with partial loading
You can specify and load only partial sections from split model files, and load other necessary parts later on-demand.
This allows Next Design to run quickly and streamline your design work even on large-scale projects, as design data is loaded focusing strictly on the scope that designers wish to view and edit.

Accelerate Process Automation with the CLI Edition of Next Design, "NDCLI"
NDCLI is a cross-platform tool compatible with Next Design that enables automation such as model verification and generation via the command line.
By developing and integrating extensions for NDCLI, you can automate custom consistency checks, data exports, and integration with testing tools.
It runs not only on Windows but also in Linux environments, accelerating process automation by integrating into CI/CD pipelines.
