Problems with Scientific mode
Answered
Just installing pycharm onto a new pc at my new job. For some reason, I can't access any of the scientific features. SciView is not there and I cannot open a scientific project, the box just isn't there. Running the latest version of pycharm pro through Annaconda. Hopefully someone can help because the IDE is useless to me without those features. On my laptop, everything works beautifully but I realised that I was running a very old version of Pycharm Pro. I think the scientific mode may have changed in newer editions but I am not sure. I have wasted a morning already trying to get things to work, so I am hoping someone can help.

Recent versions have Scientific mode fully integrated into PyCharm. It doesn't require additional activation or creating a specific project; all the functionalities are available in any project.
You are right that the old scientific mode no longer exists. This being said, the documentation says that they have replaced it with the ability to open new scientific projects (Scientific project | PyCharm Documentation (jetbrains.com)), provided that conda is installed on your device. I have conda installed on my device and even installed and ran pycharm through conda (rather than the toolbox though I tried this too with the same result) and I am having no joy. I really need this to work in order to get on with the projects that I am required to work on so any help would be greatly appreciated.
The documentation has yet to be updated. We will fix that soon. You should have all features enabled on any project you open —Conda or not. Please share additional details on the errors you're seeing and if possible share a quick sample so we can try to reproduce it from our side.
