PTC Mathcad - Inserting Images

[@williamcase426]

Is there a way to insert an image and automatically move everything down if it is overlapping what is already in the worksheet?

[@PatJHeffernan]

As best I am aware, not automatically, but to create the space needed for the image is a fairly simple process.

[@williamcase426]

@@PatJHeffernan All right, it's just rather annoying having to push everything down when rearranging a document or copying in something fairly large.

Thank you professor. Do you have any idea of the tools that book publishers use to make the drawings ?

[@PatJHeffernan]

Sure. Most popular for professional drawings is the Adobe Suite of software (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc). Getting more common are getting drawings out of 3D models (SolidWorks, Fusion360, etc). When I do this I usually end up augmenting them with markups in Illustrator, etc. For most things I find PPT the simplest and most accessible.

thank you sir

Thank you sir for your videos.... Could you teach us how to integrate PTC MathCAD with PTC Creo? Thanks in advance

[@PatJHeffernan]

Sorry, I don’t use Creo. Maybe someday…

"Thank you, sir. However, how can I set the grid in PowerPoint to match the scale in Mathcad?"

[@PatJHeffernan]

Hi. You don’t. Build it in PPT for a transparent background, then highlight and save as PNG. Import the image and it will have a transparent background. :)

@@PatJHeffernan THANKS FOR REPLAY No problem for background but my concern is matching the scale between PPT and PTC

[@PatJHeffernan]

@@ahmedbadral-dean4273 Ahh, now I understand your query. Sadly PPT does not support parametric drawings so the images are non-interactive sketches. Cheers,
