Mathcad Prime config

Hi,

please ask PTC Support. They will tell you whether requested functionality is implemented.

We are talking about Prime! So you can't expect things to be implemented and solved in an easy, comfortable and intelligent way.

Just look at the way how scrolling in matrices is implemented or changing the axis scales in the native 2D plot.

Or the way you can (easily!?) switch over to a different language via program parameters. To have Prime opened with a different language from the one set in your OS when you double click a worksheet or load it from a web page, you would have to fiddle around with some different registry entries to add that "culture" parameter. As simply menu option (which may be stored in a config file) for changing the menu language would be so easy and comfortable, but no ...

The same applies to the default page size. Here Prime resorts to a template page you can create, but its obviously ignored by the converter and the converter maybe also ignores the page size of the original MC15 file.
EDIT: As Terry explains below, the converter seems to use the template file for new Prime worksheets also for converted sheet. It could be made easier, but, alas, at least a way to avoid setting the correct page size over an over again. On the other hand I would expect the converter to use the margins and the page size which was set in the legacy sheet which is to be converted - imitating the original layout as good as possible.

I am not sure if there is a secret config file which determines the page size used by the converter.

I am only aware of C:\users\All users\PTC\Mathcad Prime\MathcadPrime.exe.Config and of a very tiny and not much useful hidden menu which you can access in Prime by Pressing Ctrl Shift Alt Q or Shift AltGr Q.  At least with a German Keyboard where pressing AltGr Q creates the @ character.
