Just like this.

Ok, I probably did not clarify my real needs.

I have some matrices. I just exclude single column from each of them and then I glue them together.
So in my real sheet I never glue the same matrix twice.
Here comes another example where I try to augment some vectors to new matrix.
I have many vectors and they are indexed so I can use program to augment them in a loop.

That will handle your projects more conveniently.

The flaw is that m is not evaluated before applying the by-element assignment.
you can, however, enforce this by setting the previous two assignments to numeric optimization in the context menu.

This complies to the survival rule "never use symbolic optimization unless you know what you are doing".

Your solution works, it was enough to set it for first assignment. I have to comment it in code at least. Thank you.
However I am programmer and for program to be clear everything shall be set in a visible manner (in code). So fiddling with some options in context menu instead of setting them by code is unacceptable.

First of all, I want to say, that I like SMath Studio very much and I use it, whenever I have to prepare some calculations for students or in my projects. I once was co-author of book covering exercises in Mathcad. SMath studio is small, uncluttered and (mostly) does what is expected to do. And is free so I don't have to manage licenses, take care of keys and so on. I once paid some bucks to the author and gladly repeat it as program gets better.

But coming back to my being more specific: If I see matrix in the code (not necessarily mine) I expect it to behave like matrix and that's all.
Let's assume I got quite large project which can also reference to other files by include("..." ) add-in. So I have two matrices in front of me (see screenshot). I want to change a single element in each of them. Shall I go back and read all the code before to check if it can be done? The general question is: if we have two identical looking chairs shall we expect one of them not to be a chair but a briefcase with a chair in it?

You might vote for https://smath.info/bts/I...s/IssueDetail.aspx?id=19. This feature request is exactly tailored to your need.
It is a long standing issue with second highest voter rate ever, yet no sign of hope out there...

Yet I encourage all users to file bug reports instead or at least in addition to forum posts on bugs, because forum discussions rapidly fade out of sight, whereas the bug tracking system is transparent and user friendly. I did that already for now, see SS 3525.

And SS-19 is not typical for the responsiveness of the developers, sometimes you get the fix within hours.

I'm wondering, are you looking for an array to display differently than a matrix? I had an issue reviewing a sheet where this would have helped. In Mathcad, an array looks like an spreadsheet while a matrix looks just like it does now

I wouldn't care if they were the same thing. But they aren't.
Probably Mathcad approach would have helped.

Here you go Jean.
