Unfortunately I can only confirm that the worksheet opens without problems in Mathcad 15, but the conversion failed in Prime 6 as well as in Prime 9.

I could not find anything unusual in the file, I tried a simple filename (the converter is known not to like the # character in the file name), I deleted the headers, footers and borders. But all to no avail - the conversion failed.

The log file is of no help to me:

You may consider reporting this bug to PTC support.

    I still think that you should report it to PTC support, but I managed to convert the sheet (using Prime 6, so you should be able to open the attached file with Prime 7).

    The converter choked on the font which was used for normal text (probably because it was something unusual, not installed on the machine the conversion is done?).

    I set the font to be "Verdana" and - voilà - the converter did its job.

    Crazy and sure a bug as the converter is targeted to people not having access to legacy Mathcad (why would you use mediocre Prime when you can use the real thing 😉
