Mathcad Prime 2.0/3.0 default page size

[EddieP]

Hi all, I was wondering if there is way to change the default page size from letter to A4 in Prime 2 / 3 without using templates? Is there a config file somewhere?

Any advice appreciated.

There is no config option as this is a worksheet specific setting.

To force Mathcad Prime to use your own preferences by default for every new blank worksheet.

You can either edit the file the that Mathcad uses when you click the New worksheet icon

The file that Mathcad launchs when you choose New worksheet is call Default.mctx

Located in the default templates directory (64-bit version)

C:\Program Files\PTC\Mathcad Prime 3.1\Default Templates\

Or

Create the document with your preferred layout, page, grid, orientation etc and save the mctx. file

Then you can point Mathcad to launch this file when ever you create New worksheets

To do this

Go to Mathcad icon and click on Options. Choose the Options Tab and check the option to

"Use an alternate template when creating new Worksheets"

Using the option to Browse and select the new blank worksheet.
