Hello PTC Community,

Is there a way to insert borders around text or math blocks?

There is NO way in Prime to have a border around text or math expression the way you want it.

This is another one of the 'improvements' that were implemented in Prime over real Mathcad...

What comes closest is to choose a background colour for the item.

Success!

Sorry, but the block in your file is treated as an image. It is not a text or math block.

What's sad is that Mathcad Prime 10 still can't do this very basic bit of documentation formatting in 2025. I mean, good grief, I can put a box around text or equations in the free SMath program with one button click, but I can't in $700/year Mathcad?? Makes one wonder what all those subscription payments actually get used for if not program development.
