In Mathcad 15 you can create a prime symbol (') when defining a variable using the CTRL-F7 keystroke.  I am not able to do this in PTC Prime 6.  Please advise as to how this is done with Prime 6.

many keyboard shortcuts have changed from Mathcad to Prime.

Go to trhe calculate ribbon and when you click "Operators" you should see something looking like    x'   .

Mousover it and the tooltip help should tell  you the keyboard short which is appropriate for your language.

If you, like me, use a localized version of Prime, those tooltip shortcuts unfortunately often are wrong. In that case you have to find it out by trial and error 😞
