- You can now set warnings for when either user- or system- defined identifiers such as variables, constants, and functions are redefined in your worksheet. This allows you to avoid unknowingly changing the definition of critical parameters.
- We have added a partial derivative operator in the Operators menu for you to use to define calculations that include partial derivatives.
- You can independently turn on header, footer, or page view border with the new show frame functionality.
- And to enhance the usability of the combo-box input control added in the last release, in Prime 8 you can copy multiple values and paste them into the combo-box edit mode, making combo-box input control creation easier.

- Convert Legacy Mathcad Worksheets:
- PTC Mathcad Prime 7 provides a standalone legacy worksheet converter that you can install alongside the application. You no longer need a separate installation of the legacy Mathcad application to use the conversion process.
- Use Combo-box Input Controls to pre-define variables:
- Combo-boxes allow you to control calculations in your worksheet with easy to create drop-down menus of variable definitions. Pre-define variables and variable values associated with calculations in which you might want to consider more than one variable. Once the variables are populated in the drop-down menu, you can easily recalculate your equations by simply selecting the desired drop-down option.
- Increase usability with enhanced UI:
- PTC Mathcad Prime 7 allows you to save your worksheet in a PDF format. Furthermore, the zoom, scroll and focus functionalities have been enhanced for improved readability, review and edit of Mathcad worksheets. We’ve also made enhancements to major gridlines which can now be turned on or off from the document menu.
- API Guide:
- PTC Mathcad already includes an API that can be used to seamlessly integrate Mathcad with other API enabled third-party applications. This allows for worksheets can be opened, variables changed, calculations run, and results obtained and saved using the API commands provided in PTC Mathcad. For optimal use of the API, refer to the new API Guide included in PTC Mathcad Prime 7 Help. The guide includes descriptions of all the commands available in the API and is supported by downloadable examples you can compile and run yourself.
