Mathcad

Snapping to the grid is not a good alternative to being able to align a group of regions.  It was very easy in Mathcad 15.  

I am trying Prrime for the first time today. How do you align regions vertically? I know how to do it in M15, but I can not figure out how to do it in Prime. I also can not find in the help guide.Thanks Andrew

Hi, I recently changed the motherboard on my PC, and my Mathcad15 licence is no longer valid. Impossible to tranfer it to a new host ID, PTC does not recognise it. I have Mathcad prime 3.1 licence, working well, but the converter from .xmcd to mcdx does work without Mathcad 15 operating. I need only 6 files to be converted.My question is if anybody having Mathcad 15 and Mathcad prime 3.1 installed could kindly do this conversion for me.I join a ZIP with the filesNote that Prime 3.1 version is required, More recent versions might deliver .mcdx files not readable with 3.1 version. I’ve read that somewhere on this siteThanks in advance 

Mathcad Prime 10.0.1 correctly read cells from Excel which includes multiple lines (<ALT>+<Enter>), displaying de read content in several lines within Mathcad.The correct interpretation of <ALT>+<Enter> was removed in Prime 11 and 11.0.1.Formatting the displayed way of the content of read values, without this change of lines, is impossible.Is this correct interpretation restored in Prime 12?

Trying to solve a large linear algebra Ax=b problem using Prime.The x:=lsolve(A,b) says not enough memory, but I can solve the same size using other software on my large 128GB of RAM.Prime 11 reports in task manager as only 217 MB.How do I give Prime access to more memory if possible?Cheers

Can somebody share a sample 3d file with MathJax output for MathML equations in ALD v12?

Sir Isaac Newton   This month’s challenge is inspired by one of the great unsolvable challenges of physics, the Three Body Problem.  Of course, we won’t be asking you to perform the impossible in Mathcad Prime. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is the Two Body Problem for orbital mechanics. Earth-satellite two body problem   Challenge 1: Create the math functions and programs that can calculate the position, velocity, and acceleration of a Mazda Miata-sized satellite in orbit around the earth. (Why a Mazda Miata? It was my first and only car. Feel free to substitute a car of your choice.) Choose your orbital parameters for altitude (e.g., medium-earth, geosynchronous, high-earth), inclination, eccentricity, and any other factors.   Challenge 2 (optional): Incorporate advanced input controls to change the orbital parameters.   Challenge 3: Graph the x-, y-, and z-values for acceleration versus time. Create additional graphs for velocity and positio

https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad-Ideas/Split-screen/idi-p/656081   The above link leads to a Mathcad Idea that suggests having split-screen working.  This is something that I've wanted to see in Mathcad for some time (over 13 years, in fact), the lack of which is proving a real nuisance at the moment.  Could some kind, support-paying souls please offer their support for this idea?  Thanks,   Stuart   https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad/New-Feature-requests/m-p/356451#M139515   (I've got a much bigger list, in case anyone's not interested ...)

Hello,I finally managed to install and run PTC Mathcad Prime 12 after solving multiple installation issues.At first, the application would not start at all and crashed with the following error in Event Viewer:"Cannot locate resource 'worksheetresources.xaml'"The issue was related to the Windows display language. After changing Windows from Polish to English and reinstalling Mathcad, the application now starts correctly.However, I now have a licensing problem.When I try to activate the 30-day trial, the License Wizard first showed several "Server Error" messages. After multiple attempts, I now receive this error:"You have reached the maximum number of license requests available for your product type."As a result, Mathcad only works in Express mode and I cannot activate the trial license.Could someone from PTC please:reset my trial activation limit, assign a trial license to my account, or provide manual activation instructions?I would really appreciate any help.Thank you.

Hi  I have issues trying to plot the Moment and Shear Force diagram of the following case. Any help is highly appreciated! 🙂  

One of the things that has always been a feature of these forums is the willingness of experienced users to provide help and guidance to others.  In addition to help with how to use the Mathcad software the forums provide a place to gain advice and assistance with dealing with engineering challenges, problems that go beyond the simple application of the software to understanding the basic physics of a situation. One remaining impediment to this  feature is the inability of Prime to save a file in an earlier version of Prime; a file asking a question in Prime 10 can be read in Prime 11 or 12 but if this file is modified and saved by a later version and posted as a reply it cannot be opened unless you have a more current version of the software. This is a great marketing tool--”Here’s your answer.  To view it you must buy the latest version of the software!”   But it’s a lousy way to share information.  The forum is littered with requests to modify a file to enable a specific version to

Thanks for the new option to customize the range of page numbering in Header/Footer, very useful when assembly a bigger document with several worksheets.Question 1: is it possible to link the page numbering to a running variable that keeps track of the overall numbering?I mean, first worksheet have 5 pages, then second worksheet starts on page number 6 until number of pages, then third worksheet starts on next page number after worksheet 2, etc.Question 2: does it exists a variable which provides the total number of pages of the current worksheet?

Up through Mathcad 15 it was possible to make a nice-looking parallel operator using the infix notation. It would be very helpful to make it work in Prime.

Hello,I am trying to install PTC Mathcad Prime 12 trial, but the application does not start.After installation, nothing happens when I launch it. In Event Viewer I get the following error:System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException:Cannot locate resource "worksheetresources.xaml"I have already tried:reinstalling multiple times (clean uninstall + removing all PTC folders) installing .NET Desktop Runtime 8 installing WebView2 disabling antivirus using a different network (hotspot)The installer I used is "pim_installmgr_mathcad".It looks like the installer does not download all required files.Could someone provide a full offline installer or suggest a fix?Thank you.

Hello, I  have been a paid user continuously since Version 1 back in the 80’s. In some important ways, Prime is still clunkier than earlier versions. I find I have to leave the keyboard, grab the mouse do some clicking on the document and then resume typing  to add every new region.I generally like to create my documents in two columns: equations in one, and text describing them right beside, but nicely aligned. In the old days you could type an equation, press a key (possibly it was Tab) and it would skip right and you could start typing text. Another key (return??) would take you to beginning of a new line and you could continue.  These days Tab only moves you to the next existing equation or document top, except it doesn’t even do that  if you are in a text region.How can you exit a text region and get over to the beginning of the next row without grabbing the mouse.  That is a lot of down and left arrows to press?What I would like isan easy keystroke to leave an region and go to th

It is said that in order to run PTC Mathcad Prime, you must have the latest Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.x package for Windows x64 installed on your computer. At the same time .NET 8 end of life (EOL) is November 10, 2026 – after this date, Microsoft issues no further security patches or bug fixes. EOL means real risk: unpatched vulnerabilities, compliance failures... Am I missing something? It seems rather serious. It looks as if I have to skip the latest version. Does Mathcad Prime v12 work with .NET 10?

We have been asking from Prime 9 for the possibility to have variables in Header/Footer to be able to include information like project number, name, document number, revision index etc. which are read from the excel file where all the input values are located.I mean, at the beginning of the worksheet, we have a collapsible area where we read an excel file containing the input values to be processed, including project name, number etc. but that general information is to be used in the header/footer of the workseet.Has this possibility been included in Prime 12?  Or do need to continue waiting for it?P.S.: thanks for the new option header/footer different on page 1!  That was also needed.

Is it possible to edit the Functions tab on the Ribbon to add additional functions, such as Piecewise Continuous?

Since the beginning of Mathcad Prime, PTC has snubbed loyal users by providing a subprime legacy file converter.  It can take hours of work to tweak a converted file to get it to match the original, and you need to have a working installation of Mathcad 15 to ensure that the converted file works as intended.  When are we going to get the proper file converter that we deserve?

I can’t find the way to join the event!
