Is it possible to have the plus, minus function in the next MathCAD Prime?

I am asking a serious question here. Could PTC make the plus/minus operation possible? That way, there is no need to repeat the same operation, and possibly forget about the plus/minus sign?

This is especially true in terms of applications in GD&T.

I doubt it is hard to program, so why is PTC not making this operation possible?

Yes, that is what I am talking about. I am pressuring PTC to add this operator to the next version of Mathcad Prime.

How did you put in the +/- sign into Mathcad Prime?

I guess the worksheet was converted from an MC15 or older one /because of the inverse /+- definition.

You may use any/most characters which you can import via copy and paste. Start "charmap" (via run command), copy any character in the clipboard. Then in Prime press Ctrl-Shift-M to create a math region, then Ctrl-C to insert the chosen character and then continue with your function definition.

It looks like there is a limitiation as only one "special" character seems to be allowed in a variable or function name.

Unfortunately we don't have the option to show the function call in prefix or infix notation as in Mathcad.
