I need to install my (very old) Mathcad v14 onto a new PC. I need a license file for it. The "Mathcad License Setup" wizard fails to retrieve a license over the internet. How can I get a license for this old product?

Hi all,The advanced controls are a dream come true for me, but has probably opened up a rabbit hole of documentation. I added a textbox with the intent that users could enter dimensional strings in a user-friendly format like:10'-2 3/8"and the output would be an inches value of122.375 I'm having two issues, first being the output is a string "122.375" and not a numerical value, and ideally the value would actually be defined with MathCAD's units: 122.375*inAny assistance on how to get this working would be appreciatedfunction TextBoxEvent_Start(Inputs, Outputs) { // TODO: Add your code here }; function TextBoxEvent_Exec(Inputs, Outputs) { var input = TextBox.Text(); // Get the input value from the first input var inches = parseDimension(input); // Convert the dimensional string to inches Outputs[0].Value = inches.toFixed(3); // Output the value in decimal inches to 3 figures }; function parseDimension(dim) { var parts = dim.split("-"); // Split the string by feet and i

In another post I asked a feedback about the development of Matchad Prime (MCP) v.10 as compared to the previous versions.  Up to now I kept my Mathcad (MC) 11  - the first "love" in this field of software - despite the problems of running it in the new OSes. Apparently its seems that MCP is not near (for a general math user) after 10 versions to what it was MC 10, i.e. Mathcad 2001i (the preceeding version of MC11). I was also told to give a try to MapleFlow (MF), given the fact that also MC11 hides a maple symbolic engine. So I did in a backup computer with v.2023.3 - the latest. As already observed several features of MC are absent in MF. For instance it does not have a alignment option of formulas, as MC11 does (see picture). Moreover, I did not find a list of functions, that are instead directly accessable in MC11. At the same time, MF shows a feature that I greatly miss in MC 11: a list of assigned variables in the worksheet. I guess also its symbolic engine i

I didn't find any interface related to the Create_balloons function in my API wizard. I use Creo Parametric 4.0 version, I am trying to use VBAPI to create balloons by view automatically . Is there any interface can help me with that? Or other ways to take me there. 

Hi experts, newbie here. Is there a way for me to program this, where when f(x) changes sign, it automatically stops solving. Thank you so much, any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi there, I installed the student version of Creo 8.0.4.0, I know that I do not have a cutting-edge computer to run some of the extensions of creo such as creo simulate live, creo render studio and others... that is why I just installed CREO PARAMETRIC. However, when the installation was done, I got the message INSTALLED WITH ERRORS, I opened the message to see what the error was and it showed: your computer doesnt support creo simulation liv ( I said it doesnt matter because I did not installed that extension) as I said before I just installed creo parametric. Therefore:1. I opened Creo to start getting familiar with the software, I clicked on CREATE NEW PART, then I scrolled up and down on the drop-down menu to select a TEMPLATE (I think it is for units selection) BUT I could not be able to select the template I wanted, it automatically asked me to select a template again, I TRIED to select a different one but nothing, then I DECIDED to click on and selected EMPTY and it worked,

Hello all,  I'm looking for a way to set a default option for number of decimals shown in a drawing dimension. The obvious answer here is to change the config option default_dec_places, which will achieve my goal. But the problem is, that also changes the dimension decimal places in a .prt sketch as well. I would like to have these two dimensions decimal places default to different numbers. See below.   SKETCHER - .XXXXDRAWING - .XX Is this possible?  Thanks,Kevin

We are doing trivially simple analyses in Creo 9.0 Simulate (Not Simulate Live...) and we are consistently crashing the computers.  (Problems taken from or similar to exercises in an SDC textbook.)  See the attached for the specifications on these computers.  I have some students that know a lot about using FEA and they are not having any more success with the classroom computers. What might I (the instructor) try, to stop these crashes?  Do we need to upgrade our computers?  I suspect this is true.  However, are there things we could change/try on these computers that would help?  (See the attached pictures, which I believe have sufficient information for people to comment.)  https://prodart.pl/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/creo9_hardware_notes.pdf This link seems to say that Dell computers with AMD graphics are NOT approved?  And it appears that these computers have AMD GPUs and are Dell computers.Any input I can get would be a

Hello,I have these points: How to calculate each colored area from below plot made with above points?   Mathcad Prime 9 fille attached.

I  am having trouble creating properly dimensioned drawings of compound miter cuts on HSS square tubes. The annotations are difficult for the shop to interpret. ( see picture attached) So the next best thing is a pipe wrap template that the shop can use to mark the tube for cutting.I've had some luck:1. converting to sheet metal and then making a flat pattern drawing and exporting to DXF for laser cutting a marking template and also2. some luck creating a surface wrap and unfoldng that as well. Neither one is ideal however, and both were found by accident and not easily repeatable. Furthermore the "convert to sheet metal" method was irreversible so it requires making copies of all the tubes in the model which is a royal pain when there are more than a few parts.  

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0We have three older Mathcad files that Mathcad 9 is not able to convert for some reason.We receive the message "Conversion failed. Unexpected error encountered during conversion." We are then provided with incomprehensible text files describing the issue.Can someone try converting our files for us?

Hello, I am wondering if there is a method to use Distributed Batch to backup drawing files (and all associated assembly + part files) to a directory ? I attempted this using the mapkey.ttd and then including my config.pro containing a mapkey that recorded: Save a backup (while in a drawing file) > OK > Yes to the two prompts that appeared. The error I receive in the log is [-4] Error: Incomplete input data. The manual information suggests that this is due to required dependents not being retrieved, but I haven't been able to find a remedy for this (if any). The mapkey sequence itself is as shown, as runs as expected in Creo Parametric. mapkey bk @MAPKEY_NAMESave backup to working directory without prompt. For \mapkey(continued) use with distributed batch;@MAPKEY_LABELInstant save backup;\mapkey(continued) ~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `appl_casc`;~ Command `ProCmdModelBackup` ;\mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `file_saveas` `Current Dir`;~ Activate `file_saveas` `OK`;\m

Hi, we are looking to implement a custom fastener library using IFX in our department. It will require customisation of all fasteners, forming new file names and assigning custom parameters. On the positive side, I think I can find all of the required types of fasteners in default IFX library, which makes building a custom one much easier. I have tested it for a couple of weeks with building a couple of custom fasteners and it went almost flawless.  Now the question is - what unforseen challenges may arrise during development and using it? As any other system, there is something always to learn which is difficult / impossible to forecast, but would be great to know before we spend effort developing the custom library and start building assemblies with them. Just to demonstrate my point - a reference example for issues with Solidworks Toolbox would be:- Solidworks doesn't always import the excel files correctly to build the configurations- Solidworks toolbox dat

I m struggling to find a way to create a single draft entity line on a drawing sheet.   Looking to create a line at 0,0 and go to 1,0 (x direction) or from 0,0 to 0,1 (y direction).   Can someone point me in the right direction?

I have a UDF that creates threaded internal holes.  In the UDF family table exists all the information that is needed to create a note on the drawing for describing the thread, depth etc.  Is there a way to create a note from the table columns without having the user select each dimension?Note should read as below:     1/4-20 UNF-2B     Major Dia.: .5000     Pitch Dia.: .4565/.4500     Minor Dia.: .4340/.4170What I would like is an annotation to be created when the thread UDF is ran.  The UDF may be ran several times on one part & this is the reason to need it created as the UDF is ran.  This way the user can show/erase the annotations and reduce the chance of errors.

Hello community, I've started to add some custom light scenes in the lightsscenes.xmlHas anyone experienced this already?I mean there are some settings that are not fully explained in the help, for example the difference between "ambient_adjust" (in the main definition of the lightscene) and "adj_ambient" (in the definition of the light itself).Or other best practices in positions, orientations, etc..I'm not fully happy with the default that comes with the application so I'm doing some tests and wondering if anyone has already done something to be shared, at least some experience 😉 Thanks

Have dual loads of P9 and P10.  My application is CPU intensive.  Recent testing showed a big difference so I did a simple sum test.  The results are not good in my opinion.  Can this be fixed with a patch?  Bloatware at its finest - added functionality with engine overhead.  

Hi guys Good Morningis there any Api call is available for reading or retrieving the model from the windchill workspace?Please let me know if you know any other Possibilities. regardsAravind

Hello all, I am facing a problem related to the conversion of my files to the Creo Parametric 9 version. Currently, this version of Creo only allows you to change its results into the following formats: I want to convert my analysis results from these above formats to Excel format. I tried surfing online regarding the same but couldn't find it. If anyone can help me, then I request that person offer me that information to convert those results into readable text or Excel format.Thank you,Rushang

Hi,Does toolkit offer the possibility of developing a CAD model directly using programming language. Like all command like extrude and all can be programmed according to dimesional requirements without building any CAD model in actual.   

I was wondering if anyone knows how to select the surfaces highlighted from a semantic query? For example, I want to be able to select all GTOL annotations in my model and put the surfaces related to them under a layer. By right-clicking the GTOL layer and selecting "select items", the surfaces I want all show up under semantic query, but they aren't actually selected for, say, changing the appearance. If anyone knows how to do this with or without the semantic query tool, your help would be much appreciated. Also, my company is removing licenses with the GD&T advisor, so something like that wouldn't be an option. Thanks! Version: Creo 11

CREO 8.0/5.0Inserted exploded view on sheet-11 of the parts is like transparent. Outlined, Like the tangent lines you can see all the way thru the part.The part in the assembly model is solid. Not toggled to transparent.The part is an imported part from McMaasterCarr. But we use hundreds of their models with no issues. 

Hello, I've been trying to simulate one interesting case in which i did stuck. Here is an image of what i've been trying to achieveHere is an example of using advanced rigid link beam is discontinued after first rigid link is applied                   Here is an example of using advanced spring (point to suface(projection)). It is deforming in wrong direction                             Can you help me solve this mystery?

I tried wrapping OTK C++ to create a dialog. What I learned is that it is possible to manipulate the user interface of CREO when setting the style of the dialog to uifcDIALOG_STYLE_PARENT_AND_MENU_MODAL. At the same time, when you open the dialog interface of other creo, the dialog created by OTK will be closed. In general, there are no exceptions as follows the sample code. LIKE：uifcCreateDialog, uifcActivateDialog, uifcExitDialog and uifcDestroyDialog return 0 andno exception is thrown.But I get an exception when I call the function uifcActivateDialog in a function that is rewrapped. After the uifcActivateDialog dialog is blocked, an exception occurs when open other CREO dialog boxes.Thanks in advance. Versions:Creo Parametric 9.0 - 64 bitWindows 10 64 BitC++ Object Toolkit
