HP Prime - Geometry App inconsistence Message #1 Posted by bluesun08 on 9 Nov 2013, 2:46 p.m. In toolbox ->App Function->Geometry menu there are the items Point, Line, Polygon, Curve Transform, Measure, Measure Plot and Test. But in the symbol-view of the geometry App there are only the following items in the New->command menu: Point, Line, Polygon, Curve, Transform, Measure Plot. So this menu lacks Measure and Test. So every time i want commands from the Measure or test menu i must chance in the Toolbox. Similary to that in the num-view of the geometry App there are only the following items in the New-> command menu: Measure, Test. In my opinion thats inconsistent and in all views there should be the same menu with all items.

SYMB == defintion, creation NUM == values, calculations TW

For example, report a length, an angle... like this GH:=circle(GD,radius(GC)) GH:=line(1+i,slope(GC)) I believe measures should be accessed from the same menu as Points, etc. from SYMB view.

Re: HP Prime - Geometry App inconsistence Message #4 Posted by bluesun08 on 10 Nov 2013, 7:41 a.m., in response to message #3 by parisse Absolutely. I use for example very often the "slope"-command. And i think it is not diffucult to align the toolbox ->Geometry menu and the symbol-view -> command menu. Both have the same intention and are logically the same. PS: parisse, is there a direct contact to you?
