I want to be able to easily convert from say 45(base 7) to XX(base
11).
Is there at least something that will let me easily do Hex, Dec, Oct,
Bin conversions.

Base16, Base10 and Base2 conversions are already here using the black filled arrow symbol, I will use "[>]" in this examples.
The filled arrow symbol is used to convert a lot of different units and is accessible via Cltr+Catalog, first line (Ctrl+1), at the end.
0h10[>]Base10 == 16
0h10[>]Base2 == 0b1000
0b10000[>]Base10 == 16
etc ...
Basically, 0b is binary, 0h is hex, nothing is base 10.
Others bases have to be coded by some programs (can be done in TI-Basic).

Important note, however is that conversions done by program or function will not be able to function as a number or, at least, a number of the expected base.
For bases <10 it could act as a number type, but it would be a number of base 10 (it will look like, but not act as the new base). For bases >10, it would have to be a string.
Tl;dr - doing conversions yourself via programs/functions is possible, as long as you don't want to do calculations in another base.

On the software you can find the do the 'conversion operator' by doing @>
I sometimes wish the blank option under the Punctuation button included @.
The "so on" includes Sphere, Cylind, Rect, rad, polar, DMS, DD, dec, base16, base10, base2, r@>Pr(x,y), R@>Ptheta, P@>Rx and Ry, mat@list(matrix), list@>mat({list}[,#columns])

Hello TI Nspire Forum,
I was wondering how to change the settings so my decimal point displays where it is supposed to be vs. rounding up.
Thanks,
Oh, nice trick Sean Bird =)Thanks !

I don't know if I have that much to say about it. I do know that sometimes through the year I have students who are using Webassign get the 'wrong' answer (not accepted by Webassign) because there is not enough decimal places showing. E.g. 0.000001. If the student up arrows once on a calculator page and presses enter, more digits will be displayed.
One thing I remember first checking out when I would see a calculator is how many digits would it display. I don't think that Float6 is as impressive as the Nspire really is.
Another thing I could add to the topic is that if an AP answer was 3652.25 it would not get credit because they need to show 3 decimal places in their answer (AND don't round off until the end ... store intermediate answers, like an intersection point value).
I wonder if others feel strongly about this? (You are welcome to disagree with me.)

I highly recommend changing the settings to Float. The default if Float 6. This causes issues sometimes.
From the Home Screen you can choose 5:Settings, then Document Settings...
