In PTC Mathcad Prime 10.0.0.0 I am using an if else statement where I am comparing two variables, qu and qt with the same units, psf. However, I am getting the error that the value must be scalar. I am trying to get a return of qu or qt depending on what their values are. I would appreciate help in a solution for this.       

Currently all lines of the views in the drawings are the same, and only get to their required state (thickness) during export, when pen tables control how thick the lines are. I would like to remove the use of pen tables and start seeing actual thicknesses on the screen during development of the drawings. I tried playing with line thicknesses in line styles and I think I could make it work. But I only managed to change the line thickness for existing views, however any new model views still default to thin lines, regardless what I set as default line style. I might be using that default line style functionality wrongly because no matter what I do with it it doesn't seem to change anything.  Is there a way to set the styles of the lines for new views in the drawings? I would like to set the model edges to be slightly thicker than surfaces (quilts) of cosmetic threads and crosshatches in cross-sections.  I am on Creo 9. Many thanks for the help.

I'm exploring using Styles to provide simplified views of large welded sheet metal assemblies. (Eg, hide a chunk of components to show an earlier stage of assembly process, make some transparent for clarity). I'm also exploring modelling welds. Currently I have a lot of floating midair solid welds when I Blank components in different Styles. Surface welds interact as expected with Blank/Unblank, but solid welds stay visible when Blanked through the design tree or view window. (They then have the option to Unblank when selected even though they're still visible.) Checking View Manager -> Style -> Properties, they're not listed. However, if I change the display style of solid welds (eg make them transparent) they ARE listed and I can Blank them from the Properties window, which works.  I know I could just use surface welds, but I would like to have the capacity to use solid welds without this workaround. Is there something I'm missing that explains why they won't jus

I'm not sure of the best way to do this, but I know it can be done from a previous job. I would like to create a table where the user can selection options like they would in a symbol and their selections would populate the table. Basically, I'm trying to create a "Applied Standards" table where the user can pick the relevant standards from a list and put them in the table automatically.What is the best way to go about doing this? I don't really see a way to do it with repeat regions or in the symbol gallery.

For all of Mathcad's reputation as being a primary math software, it's always a little frustrating that it can't seem to replicate and utilize the math notation commonly used in textbooks, reference books, etc. Many, many references will use special characters of some type in their variable names, but this seems to be next to impossible to replicate in Mathcad worksheets, so I have to use alternate naming for those variables, and then add text noting that this variable is really the one everyone is familiar with that uses a symbol in the variable name. For instance, when referencing stresses parallel and perpendicular to the plane of interest, it's not unusual to use a term like f‖ and f┴ to denote those. (See the screenshot below for how these are were supposed to look. They looked exactly like they were supposed to when I typed them, but then I hit "post" and the editor removed the "invalid HTML" [subscripts]) Anyway, symbols like that in the variable subscripts are common, clear, re

Hello,I want to generate a txt file with two columns corresponding to the t and f(t) variables.   MP10 file attached.  

I have a working installation in an old PC, but are now bound to go over to an other PC. Installation goes ok but licensing does not work.

I had to program a long expression that runs past the width of the page.  Prime has a means of wrapping a math equation.  Is there a means to wrap an expression as shown below? TR := "Z1P OR Z1G OR Z2PT OR Z2GT OR Z4PT OR Z4GT OR 51T01 OR 87OP OR (50P1 OR 50G1 OR 67P2T OR 67G4T) AND LOP AND 87BLK"

I have a large portion of calculations that I will be calling a few times and I would like to avoid repeating it it's not a simple function f(x) = x^2, that I could just create a custom one. it has loops, etc I saw a suggestion of putting everything in a solve block, but the solve block has these options (guess, constraints, solver) that I will not be using in my routine:Also, after I defined the subroutine, how do i call the results?i am using Mathcad 9.0.0i attached the file that contains only the part I would like to be the subroutine itselfit has the Inputs, Calculations, Outputs. Should be easy to understand the general idea.

Would anyone know how to model a locking patch screw feature like the one you can find in the STEP files that are available from McMaster Carr with the threads modeled? As the picture shows, there is a very small protrusion coming off the screw threads to represent the locking patch. I can easily create a datum curve and project it onto the threads, which for all practical purposes is sufficient. But I am quite annoyed that I cannot figure out how to actually make it as a protrusion. If McMaster Carr can figure it out, it seems like I should be able to. I find the visible locking feature quite handy to make sure the locking patch is actually engaged with the mating threads. Eternal thanks if anyone has any suggestions.

I downloaded the 30 day trial version of mathcad and when i try to install it it keeps giving me the same error which is ''Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install.''But I am sure there is nothing installing at the moment I already restart my PC several timesAny Help! thank you 

Hello, We have 3 jLink (java) applications/plugins correctly running on PTC Creo 7 + Java 8. Now we're testing Creo 7 + Java 11 (because of future upgrade to Creo 9/10 with Java 11). We've compiled plugins files with a same JDK11 but one of the plugins fails running with message 'Startup of application "app name" failed.' Plugins configuration is same, they're using same otk/pfc dependency, same java version for compilation and same Creo 7 instance.  I've found this article but most of points are not suitable as other two plugins are running properly. Is there a more detailed log file of creo application startup to see any detailed information what goes wrong when starting plugin? Any other idea how to debug/investigate it? Thank you very much.

After several attempts I can't understand what is not working, please can you look at the attached sheet   

Hello, I imported a CAD assembly into Creo and now I want to export the assembly as a creo asm file. Would it be possible to export all files in that assembly as a creo part file? Please see the image attached. Also, I noticed that when I export it is only the assembly not the parts within the assembly is there a way around this or is this the extent of exporting? Thanks in advance!     

I want to centralize the config.pro in a shared drive location. Basically, when users launch parametric, it has to use the config.pro from that shared drive. I have gone through few articles and came to know about config,sup and I'm still not clear the concept of this. Please assist me here. Thanks in Advance!

Ctl g does not work.  It teverts to regular text.  Is this possible in any table or matrix.  The text is in quotes in the table.

I'm trying to use a subroutine to create multiple parts in one program.  But instead of incrementing the position each time, it just cuts the first part position over and over again.  I've tried absolute / incremental, and I've tried the different "base coordinate system" options, and they all have the same effect.  My post isn't set up for subroutine program calls, so I always have "Copy CL" selected.  The simulation shows all 400 parts being cut correctly, but on the machine, only the first position is cut (over and over). It always outputs a fixture coordinate system (G110, G111, G112, etc.) and the X/Y positions just stay the same in each block.  I want the X/Y positions to increment with each block.  Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?  Or if there is some post option I need to edit? 

Hello everyone! My 17" laptop, which had Mathcad 15 installed, "died" after 15 years of honorable service. Fortunately I still have another laptop that runs M15. Having a new 17", I would like to buy M- Prime 11, but how can I get the retiree discount, if there are only two options for purchasing: 1) Mathcad Prime (Single license) €811/yr; 2) Student edition €90/yr? I thank all those who will answer.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.1.0Buongiorno. Cortesemente sono a chiedere come fare per evitare questo messaggio che il programma mi da ogni volta che apro e chiudo un file: "E' stata selezionata una risorsa server per i file di recupero da registrare nella posizione specificata nella seguente opzione di configurazione: last_session_directory_path. Impostare una posizione locale per la registrazione". Questo messaggio mi compare a seguito della sostituzione del server avvenuta alcuni giorni fa. Grazie mille. Buona giornata.

There are a bunch of hidden parts in my assembly I want to see but when I unhide them with the "show" button they don't show up. If I open up just the part by itself, it just opens up an empty part. I can see the outline of the part when I hover over it in the navigation tree but I can't find any way to enable it. Any help would be appreciated! I was sent this file so maybe it has something to do with the parts being on someone else's computer but half of them load so I don't really know why it's not working. Below is a picture of the hidden parts and the outline I can see. Clicking suppress, activate, or show doesn't do anything.This is what I see when I open the part. It only ever has the outline. (I made sure the display style isnt in wireframe)   

Hi,Can you help me in solving this equation? I'm stock in this equation. I am using Mathcad Prime 10. And the error is said to be "This value must be a scalar or a matrix".

Hello,I’m using Mathcad Prime 11 and have registered the Automation DLL successfully. However, when attempting to instantiate ApplicationCreator, I receive E_NOTIMPL. I confirmed that CLSID {A00EB895-D415-433F-A04E-D298A45A7BB7} is registered and points to MathcadPrime.exe, but it appears that the actual COM implementation is missing.Could you confirm whether Mathcad Prime 11 includes the full Automation COM server implementation, or if a separate SDK or license is required to enable ApplicationCreator and related interfaces?Thanks,Johnny Abudayeh
