We received an email inquiry which I had forwarded to a Mathcad product manager. I thought it may be useful for others, too, so instead of just emailing the response to the customer, I am posting it here as well.   ------- We need to convert .mcd to .mcdx...We have Prime 6.0.0.0What do we need and how much does the program cost to do this conversion. ------- The .mcdx file format is Mathcad Prime. The .mcd file format is for earlier versions of the legacy software, later versions of the legacy software use the .xmcd file format.   If this customer uses Mathcad Prime 6.0 there is a converter that comes with the software they can use to convert all .xmcd and most .mcd files to .mcdx - ‘most’ .mcd as we only go back as far as something like legacy Mathcad 7, which was late 90’s I think.   From the Input/Output tab in Mathcad Prime 6.0 they can find an ‘xmcd/mcd converter’ button - clicking that will open the converter. They will need the latest version of Mathcad 15.0 (M050

PTC Mathcad Prime 8 has now released! @CatMcchad a quick interview with PTC Mathcad's product manager, @amcgough, for this blog article about what's new and exciting in Mathcad Prime 8, what new functionality users and veterans will look forward to using, and how the Mathcad team decides what new functionality to put into each release. Much of that is customer-driven, and Andy cited several delivered requests from the Mathcad Ideas board on this very community.Read the interview here:https://www.mathcad.com/en/blogs/why-prime8-andy-mcgough  Andy will also be available next week (March 22 at 10:00 Eastern) for a webinar about what's new in Mathcad Prime 8, featuring demos of the new functionality, plus a live Q&A portion with Andy that yours truly will be moderating. Register for that here (or catch the replay-on-demand after the fact):https://www.mathcad.com/en/resources/webcast/whats-new-mathcad-8 Happy calculating~

Professor Tetsuro Tokoro (@ttokoro) is a member of the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan (IEEJ), and he has dedicated much of his time to teaching and studying electric circuit design for his college students at Japan’s National Institute of Technology (KOSEN), Gifu College.   A true man of math, ttokoro finds helping community members solve their problems to be very fun. He seeks out math-based brain teasers and shares them with the Mathcad community to gain the insights of his kind and very intelligent fellow Mathcad users. These include resistor meshes (including in 3D), perfect squared squares, and a puzzle where you must identify the minimum radius on a circle with n number of points where all distances between points must be an integer. Sometimes, he looks for problems on rosettacode.org to solve.   According to ttokoro, many of these problems are unique and won’t be found in a textbook (and many math textbooks in use were written before math software came to

Hi all, as this came up in several threads, let me add a consolidated post here referring to  External Copy Geometry (ECG) and body attribute propagation. The questions here are mostly related to the logic of the propagation options for bodies (and also other objects)   Note that the ECG has settings within its option panel to control the propagation of parameters. This includes several aspects ranging from appearances to body names and more, and it also includes an option to propagate the construction body attribute. It also depends on whether an external body/or bodies are added "as is" or being merged into the existing body in the part. Here is how the options look like:   Some questions had been raised for example about how the construction yes/no option works when a body is brought via ECG from a source model to a target model, initially with that option checked and then unchecked during Edit-Definition of the ECG.   The answer to that is that this optio

Today, PTC Mathcad product manager Andrew McGough announced the Mathcad Scripted Control design Working Group: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad-Scripted-Control-design/gh-p/mathcadscriptedcontroldesign   Space is very limited, and active participation and attendance in discussion is required to join.   PTC aims to implement scripted controls in PTC Mathcad Prime 10, based on the feedback we receive from this Working Group.Even if we don't have room for you in the Working Group, you may still contribute your ideas for scripted controls in Mathcad Prime via the Mathcad Ideas board: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad-Ideas/idb-p/PTCMathcadIdeas
