PTC just don't have a clue about the needs of their extant users. I agree - why on earth would they be wasting their time on features that in most cases are of little use to engineers. Mathcad is an engineering tool and is therefore of no use to most Creo drafters.
Good point. We have numerous draftsmen and not one of them use Mathcad or another engineering tool for that matter. I am still to find a single person who integrates a 3D modeling package with a engineering tool productively.

Mike;
All I can say is that if Mathcad Prime 4 doesn't deliver on its promises then PTC is indeed in "dire straits".
I don't think they will. I think Prime is targeting 'new' users in college and universities who have not experienced the older version of Mathcad and such, do not miss the missing features.
