Hello PTC Community,

I have switched form Mathcad15 to Mathcad Prime 5.0.0 but I am unable to add subscripts in text blocks when using the Prime version. Has the feature been removed from the Mathcad Prime versions?

Yes, that is one of the new features of Prime with respect to (good old, real) Mathcad:

A lot of functionality is NOT available.

 

Success!

    Is there any possible workaround?

    Certain characters are available as superscripts a ² for example, otherwise choose a different font for your sub/superscripts.

      Hi,

       

      one workaround is to use the character map of windows. There you'll find a font called "Mathcad Unimath" which provides sub and superscripts; numbers only though.

      Another workaround is to generate your own character set of subscripts and use this.

      Believe it or not - this was a recommende procedure by PTC

        As I've just begun an effort to re-visit Prime (with the latest version 6) to see how usable it is, I've run across this issue too...really PTC? A big focus on Prime's development was to make it easier to create technical documents...but you took away that very convenient sub & super script text button we had for many years. Yes, entering a Math expression into a text region does work, but why should we have to copy & paste and mix these regions?

         

        PTC - are you listening???

          No, they're not listening.

           

          Sorry!
