It used to be this month...(https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad/When-MathCad-Prime-6/m-p/623814#M186938)

What is PTC promising regarding changes in Prime 7 w.r.t. Prime 6?

(In other words: What are they so busy working on, and appears to be so hard that it takes more time than anticipated?)

    Come on, when was the last time you've seen any roadmap presentation at PTC?

    These are jokes, how can you make fun of users.
    My company pays for annual subscriptions.
    I'm asking for what?
    All math software producers I know have an annual publishing program.
    In the meantime, they issue  a lot updates if nessesery.
    They stick to deadlines. They take care of the software development.
    I loved Mathcad for many things.
    I thought that something changed.
    But it's time!.  I'm definitely finishing my adventure with Mathcad (or rather with PTC).
    I would not recommend this (PTC) company to anyone.

      For the privilege to be able to access your own intellectual property packed in the worksheets you created.

       

      Unfortunately, you're right - you can't seriously recommend PTC Mathcad as a tool for engineering calculations these days. PTC did not intend for this either - they just wanted to buy a calculation module for their CAD software.

        I heard a rumor that Prime 7.0 will have an option to print to toilet paper. A new archival format for your engineering calculations.

          Is this a surprise?  Hopefully they will be release the upgrade in February.

          The input controls/drop-down is many years overdue (as is a very long list of other items)...I just hope they provide a proper conversion for the countless number of Mathcad 15 sheets I have with these embedded in them...PTC, please surprise me!

            Hi,

            I totally take responsibility for this. I'm not even going to try to come up with excuses. I just blew the post. 

            I fixed it now so there isn't a link to the old download page and I try to make it clearer that Mathcad 7 is not quite here yet.

             

            Thanks for calling attention to it. Sorry for the confusion.

             

            Best,

            Cat McClintock

              I just found that Prime 7 is available for download...let's see what it's got in it...

               

              Fingers crossed!

                I have been asking (with no reply) if Express (an unlicensed Prime) would survive the release of 7.0.

                 

                Maybe this is indicative!
