Whenever I convert a Mathcad file to PDF format by printing to Adobe PDF, the content of the pages get displaced downwards both in the pdf file and the original Mathcad file. This happens when I have many pages in the Mathcad file. Is there something I'm supposed to set in the printer settings to prevent this from happening?

Exporting from Mathcad to Word
Hi all!
When i copy from mathcad and paste to word (i tried different paste options) text is ok, but formulas are as pictures, it is also if i save as .rtf file. Is there any way to export formulas to word as text or equations, and not as pictures?
Thank you.

Mathcad Prime 2.0 plotting functionality. Argh!!
I am so frustrated by Mathcad's continued plotting ineptitude I can hardly take it. We waited for years and years for the old Mathcad to add the flexibility needed to make decent looking plots and it NEVER happened. Now in my first few hours of working with Prime 2.0 (I skipped 1.0) I am already extremely frustrated by basic stuff that really makes me wonder about the development team. Come on, guys, I know you can do better than this!
Contour plots:
- z-axis scale/color bar is now included, hooray!
- however, it's location and orientation are fixed (bottom, horizontal)
- why can't I move it to the right and make it vertical?
- The labeling interval of the z-axis scale bar is tied to the number of
contour intervals. No!!! If I want a lot contours then my labels get
all mashed together and become completely unreadable. Totally
unacceptable.
- If I change the weight of the lines that separate the contours, the
line weights in the z-axis scale bar do not change correspondingly.
Come on!!
- No secondary y-axis in the second major release?? Very poor.
I need this all the time.
- I can't change the font or the font size used for the axis labels. I've
only been waiting for this for uh...let's see...how old am I now??
- Why does the x- and y-axes extend beyond the minimum value set
for the axes? This leads to odd/awkward-looking axes, at least, not
like any plots I've seen or want to make myself.
- Why can't I use a ticked/labeled box around my plots? It seems the
only option is the two intersecting axes.
- Um, how do I put titles on my plot axes? Am I just being dense here?
- Thanks for letting me rant. I guess it's export back to Excel for now
for a lot of my plots. Not that I like Excel's plots, either, believe me.
But at least with fiddling I can get a decent-looking, READABLE plot
out of Excel to present to other engineers and scientists, or include
in a paper. Not possible with what I've seen in Prime 2.0. Sigh...

Units incorrect? lbm, lbf
MathCad (2001i Pro) defines lbf (pound force) as 32.174 mass * length / time**2. Since we all recognize this as acceleration due to gravity we know the units are lbm, ft, and seconds squared. But the textbook definition of lbf is the above divided by the "gravitational constant" also 32.174 but the units include lbf in the denominator. This is critical; it shows that on earth, lbf and lbm are equivalent. But MathCad doesn't see it that way and it has been playing havoc with some gas calculations I'm doing. Any comments?

Solving Equations for undefined variable with units
So, I am confused on how to solve an equation for an unknown with units. I am not sure if I am having unit problems or if my way of stating variables is incorrect. I am simply just trying to solve for the variable "d" which should have units in length. How should I declare variables that rely on other known and unknown variables? When should I solve an equation symbolically and just numerically in terms of getting proper units? I am used to using maple 16 so switching to MathCAD has been fairly intiutive but I am failing to pick up on certain features. If you fix my MathCAD code, I should be able to figure it out from the fix solution. Thanks!

Plotting a graph of the function f(x)
Hi all,
I am a newbie to the usage of mathcad and could do with some step by step help from you experts out there.
I have a mathcad problem:
I want to plot a graph of the function f(x) from the equation;
f(x) = x(14-7x)(16-7x)
4(4-x)^2
I do not want to show the equation in the worksheet (and so imagine there will be some packets of data on the sheet somewhere that can be referenced to).
From the information I need to plot a graph of the function f(x) (repeated myself didn't I).
I would like the graph needs to cover the interval [0, 2.68] in the x direction and [0, 80] in the y direction.
If anybody can help (step by step because I'm thick....lol). I woul;d be really grateful.
Paul

license server not starting
Hi, We are running Mathcad using a license server. Unfortunately the server stopped working a couple of days ago. When trying to start the ptc_d daemon, the logfile shows 22:06:22 (lmgrd) ptc_d exited with status 25 (Invalid host) The hostname did not change, nor did the NIC. Any clues on what might be the problem?

Mathcad 15 - Preferred units in results?
I am using Mathcad 15 for a course in Quantum Chemistry. Is there a way to set default units so that they match those commonly accepted in the dicipline?
For instance, when I calculate wavenumber, my result is in m^-1 rather than the commonly accepted cm^-1, and frequency is in s^-1 rather than Hz.
Thanks.
Best Regads,
Matthew
