Please go back to basic functions of Mathcad 15

Please simplify the subscript function to a ONE key shortcut!!!!!!
Please add floating tiles with with operators, symbols, calculation.
Please return to the text function after hitting SPACE". ctrl T is unbelievably time-consuming!
Please add the ALLIGN function. 
Please add the function where it would be possible o choose from defined variables, perhaps with a right click. 

Prime is utterly frustrating, time-consuming, and messy-looking. I am very sorry for this interface. I really tried working in Prime but I just cannot bear it anymore. What happened to this excellent program?!

Thank you.

I am new here, but habe full Version of Matcad 15 and prime 7 and smath

I have bad feeing with prime, as this is not better as 15 and smath for Design and Dokumentation of the thoughts.... And to create a variable.index is what programmer do, and not MSWord click of Button 

Sorry to disable 15 will be the last Methode to keep prime alive...

Agreed, these functions are necessary to work efficiently in the program. Please address asap.

Agreed, even simple things like the @ function (ctrl-2) for generating a graph/plot that could have gridlines, traces tied to the data points, etc. are missing from what has been there for decades. 

 

The responses from PTC have been very dismissive that our complaints and suggestions are somehow 'lower priority' than adding new stuff that most of us will never use, and certainly aren't interested in when we can't get the basic, old functionality in the new and prohibitively expensive software. I don't want my company's funding to be used for NEW software features, I need the OLD software features re-implemented! A major hit to my productivity in dealing with workarounds and poorly translated old worksheets crashing in Prime is NOT good use of my time, performance and efficiency using Prime. I would have been happier buying a perpetual MathCAD v15 and never upgrading it than I am with annual updates. In 27 years of using MathCAD I have used customer support one or two times. So far, now, I've spent DAYS on the PTC Community, searching the forums/knowledgebase, contacting support, all simply trying to get the most basic help. I don't need 4th order partial differential equation capabilities or whatever complex new functionality has been prioritized over basic and VERY SIMPLE functionality.
