Suggestions for update in MathCAD

[Arshad_Ali]

Few Suggestions
1. Custom page size not available. This is important because for display of the final output for custom size cell device or iPad etc a teacher need that.
2. Certain drawing elements are not available like arrows, rectangle, circles, line, dotted line, etc which are necessary for final formatting of the document. These elements are needed to highlight the certain area which is more important.
3. Two files cannot be displayed separately, like I am working on file and looking at some other file at 2nd extended display.
4. Certain fonts are not available, although installed in the computer like Aptos.
5. Step by Step approach is not available, I am sure if this is provided in the software this will greatly enhance the market growth especially the university students and teachers.
6. Math cannot be inserted in text box. This can have advantage since the problem or numerical which have text and math together is certain need of a teacher where he need to change the value of a certain variable and quickly the solution is updated.

In-spite of all the limitations, I like MathCAD the most because of its best visual presentation. I was using this software from the beginning, when it has the name of study works, back in 1998. I have provided these suggestions so as to improve the software for its upcoming version or as per your own growth.

Thanks and regards, best wishes for future updates

Most of your points have been raised before, and many of them long, long ago.

If you are licensed, check here https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad-Ideas/idb-p/PTCMathcadIdeas  if the ideas are listed. Note that there is no guarantee the idea will be implemented any time soon, or at all.

Specifically:

3. You can open two instances of Prime at the same time, each showing a single worksheet at a time.

5. There is an extensive help, with many examples. And for those addicted to video's, check youtube.

6.
 , created by copying an existing math element and pasting it in the text box.

Success!

You can add any math expression in a text box or block by using "ctrl m" that is while holding down the control key type the letter "m".
