Mathcad is lagging due to large size of matrix

Is there a way to fix this? I have a single-very large size of matrix(10 pages) and when I do anything within this matrix, it will start lagging.

I'm afraid that the only way I know is to

• expand the matrix to the size you want when you create it (to get the rest of your document spacing correct),
• reduce it something quite small (eg, 5 rows),
• do all your editing, recalc, etc, and then
• expand it again

As you've noticed, the Mathcad Prime drawing algorithm tends to get rather glacial once the worksheet starts getting lengthy.

I've tried turning calculations off, switching to draft mode and reducing the zoom.   The last one helps a bit, but is somewhat limited by your screen size, resolution and eyesight!

What's the size of the matrix (in terms of number of rows and columns)?  Is it sparse (i.e. does it have lots of zeros with relatively few non-zeros)?  What do you want to do with it - add/multiply it, invert it, find its determinant ...etc., just display it?

You may try to "hide" that huge matrix in a collapsed area.
Or do you mean working speed gets down when you edit that matrix itself?
