Our Mathcad Community forum has an Ideas section. They don't let me in there for political reasons. Thank God they're still allowed in here.
The best idea for Mathad is to take all the good things from SMath.
I will post pictures here describing some of the benefits of SMath over Mathad.
I ask those who have access to the Ideas section to transfer my drawings there.

Definitely this is something that Mathcad must implement, it is much more comfortable to read directly how the tools are used, in addition, the current descriptions that mathcad uses are really poor if not terrible

Yes, it is something that Mathcad should incorporate, I am a civil engineer and this resource is quite useful for the study of influence lines in beams

All my conscious life I dreamed that an operator would appear in the programs approximately equally. Such a program finally appeared, but not in Mathcad, but in SMath (version dated June 20, 2022).

Here is the only program in the world where the built-in operator is used, and not the user-defined operator is approximately the same!
