More options to control image insertion

Hi, thinks I would like to see in Mathcad Prime are:

  • More options to control image inserting as there is none at the moment other than the insert button. What the point of a calculation without image showing and explaining what are you doing?
  • I would like to see decreasing in the number of times my computer crashing, as for know it is 100%, when ever I used MP1 my computer start to response very slowly and effect the performance of all the other programs, I do at least two start up and finally the next day it is ok. Guess what I check with the IT department, they said that my computer is more than what is the minimum requirements for MP1.

Regards,

Like a vector graphing tool? You can insert an image into Mathcad or use Excel as an embedded object. Embedded Excel components are not in Prime 1.0, but expected to be in Prime 2.0.

This shouldn't be a request, this should be given. Mathcad Prime sucks the life out of my machine and effects its performance until I reboot. It has nothing to do with your computer, it's MP1.

Please contact technical support for the memory issues. I use Mathcad Prime 1.0 on a daily basis, and have not seen these kind of issues.

If you are on XP, make sure you've installed the hotfix from Microsoft for memory problems.

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mathcad\Mathcad Prime 1.0\Doc\en-US\Mathcad_Prime_RTF_en-US.pdf, which is Read This First.

You can also get to it, under the Getting Started Tab in Mathcad Prime 1.0, then click on Migration Guide button, which opens to all the PDF documentation.

In Read This First, look for Memory Leak in Windows XP

I also often see a huge performance drag when using Prime. It's on my to-do list to try and figure out how to reproduce it, but my to-do list is very long.
