I remember my undergraduate studies, where the homework problem was a single problem that took 10 pages and 3 hours to complete. Plot performance has also improved by increasing the datasets from 500,000 points per trace on an XY Plot in previous versions of Prime to 2,000,000 points per trace in Prime 4.0. Finally, some improvement will be noticed when making format changes to text or math regions. Moderate improvements occur with page manipulation: adding or removing blanks, changing grid size, and selecting or unselecting regions. The largest improvements are in the areas of page setup: margins, orientation and switching view modes. Larger files will see a greater improvement. The performance increases range between 2 and 100 times faster, depending on the operation, based on performance testing done by the MathCAD team.
Speed is key, especially when editing large or complex documents. To add a verification level to the protection, a timestamp can be appended when protecting an area. Locking an area in its collapsed state hides the content of the area, but the area is still used by the worksheet. The display state of a protected area can be locked as well. This allows users to view the calculations, but not edit them. When combined with collapsible areas, this combination provides all levels of protection to make critical calculations editable, uneditable, or hidden.Īreas can be protected by setting a password on that area. MathCAD Prime 4.0 adds new features to protect your intellectual property - Area Protection and Locking. I have Prime 3.1, Prime 4.0, and v15 M045 all running under my current Prime 4.0 licence on a Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10. Second, multiple versions of MathCAD can be installed simultaneously on the same computer. But MathCAD has made upgrades easy.įirst, its support website is always getting better - easing the process of downloading software updates and licence files. It’s just too much administration and I have more productive things to do. While I’m keen to have something to show for my annual maintenance/subscription, I often don’t rollout a new software release every year. Two noteworthy takeaways from the roadmap: 1) MathCAD Prime is transitioning to a 12 month release cycle, up from its 18 month cycle, and 2) MathCAD v15 is still being updated to support legacy users. MathCAD intended for the verification, validation, documentation and re-use of engineering calculations
