1. Describe your environment: What is your industry? What is your role in your organization? Describe your stakeholders.
Construction Engineering
2. What version of Mathcad are you currently running?
Prime 7.0
3. Describe the problem you are trying to solve. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.
Matchcad Prime does not allow you to input or display results in mixed fractions like Mathcad 15 did. This is important in the construction industry where most dimensions are needed in sixteenths of an inch.
Additionally in a text box when you enter bullet points the software automatically adds an additional space that cannot be removed. Calculation sheets become bulky and longer than needed due to these extra spaces.
Finally "if' statement should be contained to one line instead of 2 lines. when you have multiple "if" or "else if" statements it makes the calculations bulky and longer than needed.
These should be fairly easy fixes and would greatly improve the presentation of the calculations.
4. What is the use case for your organization?
We use mathcad prime to perform calculations that are submitted to the client for review.
5. What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization?
These improvements would result in better presentation for the client to review our calculations and improve overall communication.
