Mathcad Prime 2.0 default document properties

Hi there,

I am learning Mathcad Prime 2.0 with the trial release and I want to set the default document properties how can I do that? Example: I want to set the grid mesh to fine and set a zoom factor etc. for all my newly open documents I know that previous release had a normal.mct file or templates for that but I've check and I can't see it. I have check in the help but I found nothing maybe it is because I use the French release and it may not be as complete as the English yet, it is true that that release is only available for 5 days.

Pierre from Montreal.

Thank you, bye.

Pierre,

I have looked for the same functionality. I is key to making good reports over time. Let me know if you can find how to change the plot text. It can bearly be read.

Cheers,

David

Mathcad Prime 2.0 does not have templates, but you can make one for yourself. Just create a worksheet with all the settings that you want, and save it as a master template. Start every new worksheet from the master, just remembering to first do a Save As.

The zoom that you set for a worksheet, should be the same for the next worksheet you open. So zoom is saved per session and beyond.

The French version and all other language versions of Mathcad Prime 2.0 have all the same features. The only difference is that we used English keyboard shortcuts, so they may not work on other language keyboards. You can check the keyboard shortcuts for your language under Help.


We are planning templates for Mathcad Prime 3.0.

Ok it is a good workaround. I have never realized that the zoom factor was saved between sessions. I checked and it is saved.

I will be able to recover my margin settings, grid mesh spacing, page mode etc.

Conclusion: Stop searching for templates or similar ways it is not implemented yet!

Lastly is there a way (link) to report a bug in Mathcad Prime 2.0 or in the tutorials?

People at PTC are reading the discussions, very good and important.

Thank you, bye.
