Could you please give a few examples of those many calc errors?
If you are talking about the new symbolic engine in Prime 6, I expect that some of the typical errors of MuPad (mainly when it comes to integration) don't show up in FriCAS (would be surprising if they did). The last one reported her was this:
But we sure will see new errors in symbolic calculations using the new engine and some already have appeared. Its too soon for a judgment, but based on what @ttokoro and I have shown in this thread
it looks like at the moment we are better off using the old symbolics. We will see if those bugs get fixed in a coming maintenance release of Prime 6 (there weren't any for P5) or at least in Prime 7. But based on the experience with PTCs development of Prime in the last 10+ years, I have only a very weak hope that we will see a quick improvement here.
I guess the introduction of FriCAS ( a forge of Axiom) to replace Mupad sooner or later was not done with improvement of software quality in mind but just to reduce costs (no license fee to pay to Mathworks for that old Mupad version built into Prime).
I see, i dont know why you would want different font type for units functions variables and other math stuff. I find it cleaner to "play about" with the italics, bolding and coloring an dbe consistent throughout a calc. See below. I use courier for text and math notation and vary color/boldness/italic/size.
If you use text regions in prime, togther with math regions in the text region you can achieve very nicely formatted sheets. I much prefer the quality and use to that of V15. Then again i only use mathcad for simple structural engineering calculations not complex numerical problems.
If you do it this way by using text regions you can have differnet font/styles throughout your document by selecting text within the region and changing it. (If you change it outside withour selcting any objects you will set it globally). See title "Envelope" where the text is totally differnet to other text - global style of courier. You can maintain tabbing as well when using math in text regions and not have to auto place math regions - hence no need for the align functionality of V15. Its much quicker to create a nicely professional formatted report/calculation in prime than V15. But thats just my opinion.
I would set up a template with desired font and headers in a text region and then you can simply copy and paste as needed.
Agreee, having styles that you can define for headers, text bodies, bullets etc would be great but then we are talking about a word processing program. I dont think it would be hard to expand this feature...
