In Mathcad 15, if you have equations scatter along the sheet you can highlight, go to format, and the select align regions from the drop menu. How do you do that in Mathcad prime 8 ?

    Only move items one by one.

    The developers of Prime have apparently found that arranging regions individually just by eye, possibly using the grid, has to suffice.
    Stupid, ignorant, but unfortunately a fact.
    This is, regretfully, by far not the only thing to find fault with the Prime disaster software.

    Having followed the so-called "development" of Prime from the beginning, I have come to the conclusion that this "ideas" section is merely a placebo for paying customers. If PTC were really serious about wanting to improve the software, development would look significantly different and there would also be an easy way open to all users to report bugs and suggest improvements.

    Although I very much miss the align regions buttons in Mathcad 15, my workaround is to select equations and move them using the arrow buttons.  In that way, the regions can be easily and accurately brought into alignment. Unfortunately, this has to be done one equation at a time.
