Equation Wrapping

As per the original Post. 

 

I believe I have the premium version of Mathcad PTC Prime 9 - but "ctrl" + "enter" never worked for me either.    Actually, as far as I know, I have Professional version of Mathcad PTC Prime.  M > About > just says I have Verison Prime 9.0.0.0.  I pay something like $600 a year for the license. 

 

Anyway "ctrl" + "enter" doesn't work for me for whatever reason.

The possibilities of equation breaking are limited - its only available when inputting an expression, not for the output/evaluations of results.

The keyboard shortcuts have changed going from from Mathcad to Prime - so Ctrl-Enter isn't doing the job anymore. Equation breaks are now allowed for any of the four basic arithmetic operations and the shortcuts are Ctrl-Shift-+, etc.

    This is helpful, but as you've said - limited.  I would like to see a more generalized ability to wrap equations (not limited to the four basic operators).  For example, wrapping the output of a symbolic solve when it gets long would be nice.   Equation wrapping seems like a feature everyone would need and enjoy having.

    Fully agreed on. But there are so many features we miss in Prime and would enjoy having - and most of them were already implemented in real Mathcad more than 20 years ago (equation wrapping is not one of those features - we already missed that feature in real Mathcad, too).
