We’re pleased to announce the release of 2026x Hot Fix 1 for the CATIA Magic/CAMEO portfolio. It includes a number of improvements, bug fixes, and vulnerability fixes in our modeling tools. 

Textual Editor Performance Improvements

The 2026x HotFix1 release delivers significantly improved model synchronization performance in the Textual Editor, providing approximately a 40% speed increase in the local repository and Teamwork Cloud. This enhancement enables a noticeably smoother modeling experience and a more efficient workflow.

Local Project Management Improvements 

The Manage Projects Dialog Simplification

The Manage Projects dialog has been improved by removing redundant buttons and reducing the number of displayed columns. Project version and import details are now displayed within the Name column. These enhancements deliver a cleaner, more intuitive interface and a smoother project-management experience within the local repository.

Project Naming Improvements in the Local Repository 

Updates have been introduced to project naming in the local repository. Updates have been introduced to project naming in the local repository.

• Projects created in the local repository are now displayed only by their project name.

• Imported projects are displayed using the following structure: [.mdszip imported @].

This update provides more precise and informative details at a glance.

Other Improvements

• Local repository performance. First-time project opening (while building local caches) is now up to 20% faster. Subsequent openings are up to 10 times faster.

• Local repository optimization. Previously saved but unused project versions are now automatically removed on each save, preventing unnecessary local repository growth.

• Simplified project saving in the local repository. The distinction between saving a project as a draft or a new version has been removed. The unified Save Project command now simply saves the project as the latest version in the local repository. 

• Removing the original project vs. its subsequent imports from the local repository. While removing the original project from the local repository removes all subsequent imports of the same project, removing any subsequent import of the same project no longer affects the original project. 

Local Used Project Management Improvements

The Project Usages Dialog Simplification

The Project Usages and Advanced Project Usages Configuration dialogs have been improved by removing any redundant buttons. The Advanced Project Usages Configuration dialog now also displays fewer columns. These improvements provide a cleaner interface and a more efficient used project management experience within the local repository.

Improved Workflow for Updating Used Projects

The workflow for updating used project versions has been redesigned. In the main project, an outdated used project may refer to two of its available versions: Older Version or Latest Version. You can choose to update the used project to its latest version via the Switch to Latest Version command or continue using the older one. This simplified workflow makes updating used projects faster, clearer, and more efficient.

Improved Workflow for Switching Between the Original Used Project and Its Subsequent Imports

You can now easily switch between the original used project and its subsequent imports via the Switch To command.

• The Switch To menu displays the used project originally created in the local repository by indicating the project name and version (Latest/Oldest Version).

• Subsequent imports of the project are displayed using the structure: <[.mdszip imported @] >.

This new workflow separates switching between imports from updating to the latest version, offering a clearer and more intuitive experience.
