Mathcad clarifications needed

What version of Mathcad does your user have?  Is it Prime or Prime Express (lacks many features of Prime, such as programming)?

Can you give some specific examples of the problems your user is having (with screenshots and worksheets)?

I'll assume that you are dealing with Mathcad Prime 11 for the following:

Hi 

I would like to understand the solutions for the below queries raised by a user. Appreciate your help.

• Aligning of text boxes and formula boxes.

Manual, I'm afraid.  This is a long requested feature.

• Array for various values for same function.

You can find many examples of this within the Mathcad Help.   Here are two methods (see image). 

One uses application of a function to a vector.   The vec function is new to Mathcad Prime 11 (but easily replicated in earlier versions).  It is intended to convert range variables to vectors, but can also generate vectors directly using the same arguments as one would use in a range variable.

The second uses the built-in function to generate an mxn (16x16, in this instance) matrix of values for a 2-argument function.

• How to use if command to state design is safe or not. Usually, we need to green highlight if the design is safe and red if not safe.

Use one of the advanced controls.  Pass the "safe" value to the control, and use control scripting to set the control colour.   A Button or EditBox are probably the better controls to use.  I think there have been a couple of recent examples posted on the Community.

• To add graph for considering various values and array and another function. Like SFD, BMD etc.

See the previous image.  In Mathcad Prime, look under the Plots tab in the Ribbon.

• Setting company standard template for page format

Create a worksheet that accords with the company standards and save it as a Mathcad Template.  Note that you can add images to the header and footer, as well as other information, such as worksheet name, date saved.  See Mathcad Help for more details.

• Add calculation template for similar repeated calculation.

See above.  

• Drop down menu similar to Excel

What kind of menu are you referring to?  Do you mean in the Mathcad application interface?  Or within a Mathcad worksheet?

Use a control within a worksheet.  The ComboBox provides a drop down menu.  Other controls use sliders, such as the ListBox (although I've probably forgotten something here!).  The user has to set up the ComboBox manually, but can programmatically populate the other controls.

• We are finding difficulty in adding unit as %

Type a value then immediately type "%".   If this doesn't solve your user's problem, please explain what they are trying to do?

• Can we import more symbols such as “therefore”; “similarly”;

If they are available in Unicode, then there is a good chance that you can copy & paste them from elsewhere.  

"therefore" already exists in Mathcad Prime.  Look under the "Symbols" tab in the Math Ribbon.

• Aligning of text boxes and formula boxes.

See comment about alignment.

• How to add border for text box or important formula box.

See my first image.  This is a new feature in Mathcad Prime 11.

• Adding table for various values for one function & how to Vlook-up from it?

See the earlier reply about creating arrays.

Then look up (!) the examples in Mathcad Prime Help.
