Mathcad

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 have book Essential MATHCAD for Engineering, Science, and Math 2nd Edition, with Free Software CD Included. I have tried to installed the Software on my computer with the CD and this is the error message that I received:  Can you help me setup the licensure I have the product code?

I purchased and installed Mathcad Prime 12. However, I now understand that, because I am using a Dutch Windows 11 OS, Mathcad does not start. First of all, I find it unbelievable that PTC does not mention this very clearly beforehand, but that you are only confronted with this after purchasing. What really makes matters worse is that, although you start from and with the English website, you are redirected during the installation process to a Korean website, which is unreadable. So now I am stuck with a Mathcad version that I paid for and for which the 1-year period has already started, but which I cannot use. I would like this situation to be resolved ASAP.

Many of my Mathcad worksheets are large (50+ pages).  As the worksheets get larger, the screen refresh rate becomes so slow when using the drag slider bar that scrolling through the worksheet becomes very difficult.   This has always been key source of frustration when using Mathcad for large models. I had been working on a large worksheet for a bit after upgrading to Mathcad 12 when I realized that the scrolling was as responsive as any Microsoft Word document – very smooth with no noticeable lag up to any reasonable scroll rate!  That was not one of the explicitly stated new features in Mathcad 12 – so I didn’t notice it immediately (sometimes you don’t notice the things that just work the way you’d expect them to work).  I really appreciate some of the other enhancements in the Prime 12 release like Find/Replace with subscripted variables (another large worksheet issue) and the enhancements for native plots, but the scrolling improvement ranks near the top! 

i cannot run the program. I am stuck in an obtain license loop. I am sure there is a way..

Please help me what am i doing wrong?Mathcad Prime 11.0.1.0

Hi,I am using root function to solve a function for different variables (variables are vectors) but some of these values don’t converge as there is no solution. How can I skip these values that don’t converge and make a table for those values and solve the rest? I have attached the MathCAD zip file.  Thank you!!!

I recently purchased a student licence for Mathcad Prime 12. After download, unzipping and installation, when I try to open the app, it automaticly crashes. After analyzing it with Eventviewer it seems that the app cannot locate resource 'worksheetresources.xaml'.What can I do about it?

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.1.0The attached file crashes every time I change 'k'.Here are the errors that I facedNo warning. It just shuts itself down.

Hello,I have tried to upload the mathcad file, but it does not allow me. The following was working in mathcad 15, but it does not evaluate in prime Thanks,Sam

Hello!A new year and a new crash unfortunately.I was working with this document and saved it. The next day when opening it i just get "The file type is not supported".Can it be recovered? Would help alot 🙂I attached the failing document and a log fileKind regards, TomPrime;7.0;FileNotSupported;Crash;MathcadPrime

Hi there, I'm receiving the error "file type not supported" when trying to open an old mathcad file. I've attached the file, could you please assist. 

I am currently running the trial version of Mathcad Prime 11.0.1.0 (I think only a few days left) to evaluate its capabilities for solving multiple equations with multiple unknowns. I want to verify that it will produce the results that I need before purchasing the software.  I have run into a problem getting Mathcad to solve the system equations symbolically. I have looked around the internet for community information on this aspect of Mathcad but have not found anything that addresses my specific topic. The problem to which is seek a solution arises when modeling the impact between two bodies. Using the impulse-momentum formulation of Newton's 2nd law gives me 6 equations and six unknowns with a point mass (no rotational inertia) impacting a point mass. I put this system into Mathcad and used the solve feature and it produced the desired result. My file is attached. You will see that I took the solution equations Mathcad produced and ported them over to calculate the numeri

Mathcad Prime 10 A few years ago, I found this great Mathcad wrapper (GitHub - usnistgov/REFPROP-wrappers: Wrappers around NIST REFPROP for languages such as Python, MATLAB, etc.) for NIST REFPROP 10 where I can call properties using a script.  This has been a game changer for me.  The issue is that not all fluids that I need are available to me, (DMAc or MMA for example) in REFPROP.Does anyone know of a DIPPR/Diadem Mathcad wrapper out there that works well? Thanks
