PTC Mathcad Prime is the industry standard for engineering mathematics software, enabling you to solve your most complex problems, and share your engineering calculations. And with PTC Mathcad Prime 7, engineering calculations just got better. This release introduces key enhancements in the areas of symbolics, documentation, and usability.
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.

The guide includes descriptions of all the commands available in the API and is supported by downloadable examples you can compile and run yourself. Read the guide
