(soon to be) New HP prime asks re: 3-D

[Han]

Before you download any program, I would recommend that the first thing you do is to update the firmware. This will involve installing the connectivity kit that is on the DVD that should come with the calculator.

1) Install connectivity kit.
2) Update the connectivity kit (it will probably automatically ask you for permission to update).
3) If it also asks you for permission to download the latest firmware onto your PC, you should do that too (may only ask this if you after you connect your HP Prime to your PC).
4) Install the new firmware via the connectivity kit.

From there, use the connectivity kit to install anything else. Usually, this will involve copying whatever .hppprgrm or .hppappdir file into your Prime folder, which is inside the Calculators folder, which sits within the HP Connectivity Kit folder (and that can be found inside your Documents folder). Then just drag/drop from the Content section in the connectivity kit into your HP Prime.

Definitely get up to speed first with the connectivity kit and virtual calculator (you can test all the software you want there). Transferring files can be done from connectivity kit to your calculator, or even between the virtual calculator and the actual calculator.

As for the 3D graphing app, it was designed with the novice in mind. The accompanying documentation should be more than sufficient even for the novice.

EDIT: And if not sufficient, you are always welcome/encouraged to raise the issues here on the forums.
