Simplification of axis ticks in MP2

I'm having real trouble simplying the x and y axis tick labels. I only want integer ticks. Like if I say x is from -2 to 2 then I only want it to show -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 thats it. nothing inbetween, no decimals, just integers

here is the MP2 attached worksheet

    You probably know that you can change the first and the last number on every axis to set the limits.

    You can also change the second number!

    So if the ends are set to -2 and 2, simply set the second number to -1 and you got it.

    I had often wished Mathcad would have more built in intelligence using auto numbering in that respect.

    thanks I didn't know about the second tick can be editted.

    It would be good when editing the ticks the ticks become lot bigger. I couldn't tell it was highlighting the second tick as well. It didn't stand out.

      I agree. I often have the problem in Prime that I can hardly see what part of an expression is marked or where the cursor is. I dont't know why the Usier Interface is made that unintuirive and bad. I think they are not capable of doing better 😞
