Background colour of math and text regions to white is simple; white is available from the math / text formatting tabs, respectively with the "Highlight color" command. Having pure white for the whole worksheet background (as opposed to off-white by default) is not supported in the current version of Mathcad Prime, but you can do a work-around if you try hard enough. Insert a large white image into the worksheet, and then drag / using the arrow keys to move your regions over the image, and do this on every page. This will be on top of the grid so you won't see the grid anymore.

@PTC_Mathcad I'll give that a try thanks for the taking the time to explain that

You're welcome!

That's strange. Did you manage to get the help eventually or do you still seek it?

@@PTC_Mathcad I found the exe and ran it. It seems OK, but as if the installation with Windows was not complete.

Not automatically / programatically at this time, but you could use documentation techniques like textboxes.

That depends on how you want to reorder them. You might find Mathcad's built-in functions useful for this ( support.ptc.com/help/mathcad/r10.0/en/index.html#page/PTC_Mathcad_Help/sorting_arrays.html# ) or you might have to make your own user-defined Mathcad program if you have a more specific method.

See Part 2 on "Formatting the Chart Component", where it points out that there is a scaling toggle: ruclips.net/video/TlBqmeenx48/видео.html

Yeah, you can see the units placeholder in the video.

The second List Box takes the first List Box as an input; based on the value of the first List Box (determined by user selection), the second List Box has a series of conditional statements to generate its selections.

Like, if it was p(x):= 4x^5 * ft - 7x * ft + 3 ft? Sure.

Use OLE Objects! (Insert Object)

As far as I know, you can add an Autocad (assuming that's "acad" here) files as an object embedded into the sheet (and if that doesn't work you can save an Autocad sketch as an image file and insert that), and you can create an integration between Mathcad's and Autocad's APIs to feed values from Mathcad to Autocad or vice-versa.

Would you like me to transcribe closed captions for this video?

What do you mean by that?

Since "Mathcad has no online training" is false, the return statement shouldn't be "We use Excel" but it should be "Go partake in the online training." Mathcad unfortunately lacks the kind of paid classes that we offer for other PTC products like Creo or Windchill (and, speaking personally as a Mathcad user and Mathcad's marketer, it would be fantastic if there was a "PTC Learn" offering for Mathcad and it's an on-going discussion and source of frustration with the PTC University team), but Mathcad DOES have the online Help Centre, these RUclips videos (and other people's videos), helpful blog articles, an active user community, and we happen to be hosting a ~two-hour training event on Advanced Controls in two weeks. www.mathcad.com/en/resources/webcast/advanced-controls-crash-course

This should help: support.ptc.com/help/mathcad/r10.0/en/index.html#page/PTC_Mathcad_Help/example_solving_a_first_order_system_of_ODEs.html If not, and you have a specific problem, you should ask/show us on PTC Community where you can post screenshots and attach Mathcad files: community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/bd-p/PTCMathcad

Not yet, but we're working on an "Advanced Controls Series" for each kind of control (video and blog), as well as an Advanced Controls Crash Course webinar taking place on August 20: ptc.co/mP9i50SEman The basic structure of you'll want in the Text Box is something that takes two inputs, and then... function TextBoxEvent_Exec(Inputs, Outputs) { V = Inputs[0].Value; R = Inputs[1].Value; if (V>R) { TextBox.BackColor(0x00F8AA); TextBox.Text("Pass"); TextBox.Font.Size = 14; var Size = TextBox.Font.Size; } else { TextBox.BackColor(0xFD7F7F); TextBox.Text("Fail"); TextBox.Font.Size = 20; var Size = TextBox.Font.Size; };

@@PTC_Mathcad Thanks for the reply. Been trying to play around with this for a few minutes. No luck yet. Could a better interface for the conditional formatting be set up so its more useable? Maybe something similar to the interface in Excel? Also, for the new slider, how do you tie units to that?

@@FireTomlin Thank you for the feedback. The code will be more obvious on how to use it in the context of a worksheet. (When we have the blogs and videos and such it'll be much more clear.) If you want to make a thread on PTC Community and attach your worksheet, myself or the Community regulars could rather easily attach a worksheet back with things working: community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/bd-p/PTCMathcad As for the slider or all advanced controls, you can't directly tie units to it, but what you can do is define another variable with units based on the slider. So if you have, say, X: [slider between 1 and 10], you could have X2: X * metres and then use X2 in all of your subsequent calculations, so it'll still be based off the slider.

Hope to see you and others participate!

Hiya, I would suggest posting your problem and your Mathcad worksheet as a new thread on PTC Community. Log in with your PTC account: community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/bd-p/PTCMathcad This will help communicate what your problem is a lot more clearly, as well as the solution.

If you could post a screenshot or even better your worksheet as a new thread on PTC Community, that would help diagnose and troubleshoot what you're doing a lot: community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/bd-p/PTCMathcad

Thanks for your important question. When exported to a PDF, advanced controls are not interactive. The PDF is created in whatever current state the Mathcad worksheet was in. So if the slider was set to a certain position before saving to PDF, the PDF will reflect that slider's position upon save. But you won't be able to slide it on a PDF, or press any of the buttons, etc.

@@PTC_Mathcad Can it be exported for example as an interactive format, such as html (background javascript)?

@@sekabone You can't export Mathcad Prime worksheets in HTML format in Mathcad Prime 10. Export to HTML is something the development team is, coincidentally, looking into right now. No promises if it'll be in Prime 11 or not.

Thank you! We're uploading a video on our website very soon that will go into significantly more detail than what this video shows about the symbolic (and numeric) updates, delivered by a member of our R&D team, if you're interested in such a thing. I'll link to it in the description when it's available.

@@PTC_Mathcad hello, where is the link ?

@@rebel_jedi It actually is in the description! Check it out here: " For a more in-depth look at everything added to Mathcad Prime 10's symbolic engine, please watch this video from Mathcad Engine R&D head Ilia Novikov: ptc.co/eGk350SzY60 "

I recommend logging into PTC Community ( community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/bd-p/PTCMathcad ) so you can attach your worksheet and we can better diagnose the problem there.

You need Mathcad Prime 5 or higher.

We do plan to release materials for customers to download for each of the Advanced Control types, but it'll take some time to polish and put together.

⁠@@PTC_Mathcadthat would be great. Would it be possible to get this rough worksheet? It has the exact control in it that I need. I can take it and amend it to suit my conditions.

@@kevinbrown945 How would you like me to send it?

Mathcad Prime 5. See our videos on the Chart Component.

​@@PTC_MathcadYes, I know that, thank you) What about the “X-Y plot”, when will it be possible to add a grid?

@@FedorPalmin Mathcad Prime's developers are looking into "Plot consolidation" (the exact phrase on the roadmap), but it is more likely that would happen after Mathcad Prime 11. There are workarounds people have developed on PTC Community to have gridlines on XY plots that you may be interested in the meantime: community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/Grid-on-a-2D-Plot/m-p/672767/highlight/true#M190679

@@PTC_Mathcad Not a bad decision. Thanks for the answer. I will use this solution for now and wait for your next updates) Thanks again!)

Thanks for the feedback!

Hello! I can't give a firm release number for this, but "Hide symbolic keywords" is on our product roadmap!

The basic idea there is that it's a scripted Text Box that uses TMax as an input, and then there is a scripted (in JScript) if/else statement comparing TMax to the threshold of 50. Basically, if TMax > 50, set the textbox background colour to green and change the text to PASS. Else, set the colour to red and change the text to FAIL. The properties and such to refer to in the scripts are available in Mathcad Help Centre. As the year goes on, PTC will try to provide more detailed examples on this channel and/or the mathcad.com blog on interesting examples of stuff you can do with the advanced controls, and this will also include the scripts.

I don't currently have an exact availability version for custom unit systems, but I do know it's already near the top of the product roadmap.

@@PTC_Mathcad I'm looking forward to it. API compatibility with Python and Rust is also very much needed. Really hope this is also on the roadmap. Or at least convey my humble wish to the developers.

@@SevereIlya.23679 I have conveyed your humble wish to the product manager.

There's several ways you could do that, depending on your idea of changing the parameter and shape. I dunno how deep you wanna get into this, but... The basic thing is having variable definitions that you can change, or you could make them into controls (basic or advanced) that can be a menu, or have the parameters be based on a function defined by something else. For shapes, you could plot something in Mathcad, or you could pass along Mathcad values into an Excel component, or you could do something with Mathcad's API to interface with dedicated graphics programs. The reason I waited a few days to answer this is that the Mathcad Community Challenge May 2024 is coincidentally based on using Mathcad to define Platonic solids. It just opened here: community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/Mathcad-Community-Challenge-May-2024-Polyhedrons-and-Platonic/m-p/947292 Throughout May community members should be answering that, and you will probably see examples of several different kinds of approaches to your question.

@@PTC_Mathcad Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately as a civil engineer, I don't know anything about coding. I just wanted to have parametric sections of retaining walls, beams, etc. Parametric 2D Revit families are very easy to use, but I don't know how to bring them inside Mathcad.

@@Farzan__Bayat There isn't an official out-of-the-box integration with Mathcad and Revit (you're not the first to ask for it), but other people who do know how to code things have went and developed such integrations where you can input/output values between Revit and Mathcad, for example this (but it's in Spanish): ruclips.net/video/1VGEsCJVVPw/видео.html Both Mathcad and Revit have APIs, and Autodesk products have Dynamo to help with that.

@PTC_Mathcad Thank you. An original Mathcad tool for parametric shapes might be a good idea for Mathcad 11.

Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+& Or select it from "Operators" in the Math tab of the ribbon. It's in the "Comparison" group.
