ORIGIN:=1 never works for me

Hello PTC Mathcad Community:

 

The ORIGIN:=1 command never works correctly for me.

See attached. I run Mathcad Prime 10.0.1.0.

If you have a suggestion to fix this, please advise.

 

Thanks,

thodij

Hi

Use the [ key (left square bracket) to get a subscripted index into A.

A[0  will get an error

A[1 will get you the first indexed element with ORIGIN set 1.

Cheers

    The fact that Prime allows you to access elements of a matrix with the syntax of a function call was not a particularly happy decision.

    But I would almost call it a bug that this type of access does not respect the value of ORIGIN.

      Yes, I can appreciate that feeling or perception.

      Thank you for your feedback as well.

       

      I look forward to more interaction with members of the PTC Community, as I use more and more of Mathcad.

      Unlike MATLAB or Excel, at least I do not have to keep tab of units. That is a big advantage.
