    That's because they don't exist in Mathcad Prime.

    In this case, you can only use the document grid:

    The thread is marked as "Assumed Answered", but you should not give up too soon.

    It would be rather polite to say, that Primes plotting capabilities are mediocre - its much worse. But sometimes you can help yourself with some self defined utility functions.

    Unfortunately you won't be able to use those function in Prime Express after the trial period, because programming is considered a premium feature by PTC and is disabled in Express mode.

    As I usually use MC15 I just noticed, that logarithmic scale can only be applied to the ordinate axis! Seriously? That can't be true - am I missing something??

    Anyway - here a some routines I just wrote (quick an dirty, not error checking, etc.) which can be used to provide some kind of grids.

    The horizontal grid has to be of type "Waterfall Trace".

    The vertical grid on  has to be of type "Stem Trace" - no idea why Waterfall Trace does not do the job here.
