FAQ/Basic Functionality

This is a list of frequently asked questions about using SMath Studio.

How can I add subscript below variable name?

Just use Decimal Symbol (usually . or ,) in variable name to add a subscript.

How can I type Greek characters using keyboard?

There is a hot-key supported by SMath Studio: Ctrl+G - it converts Latin letters to the Greek symbols (f.e. h to Eta or p to Pi) and vice versa. More shortcuts may be found here: Keyboard Shortcuts.

Why some of my Mathcad files cannot be opened in SMath Studio or can be opened only partially?

SMath Studio and Mathcad are two different applications which have their own unique features. There is no goal to support files of any separate applications in SMath Studio as there are too many incompatibilities between programs and it is actually too dangerous to perform such conversions automatically. Yes, SMath Studio has a built-in limited support for XMCD files, but it was developed just to simplify migration process for Mathcad users a bit. XMCD plug-in for SMath Studio is an open-source project, so anyone can do some improvements if required.
