Converting MCD files to mathcad express

You need a full installation of Mathcad 15 to be able to use the converter.

As you are using the free Express Version of Prime you seem to have no license (purchasing Prime entitles you to use Mathcad 15 as well).

You can download the 30-day evaluation version of Mathcad 15 but be aware that it will stop working at all after the trial period while Prime falls back to the crippled Express mode without symbolics, without programming, etc.

You shuld also be aware that most old worksheets won't work painless after conversion or will not work at all unless they contain only very basic features. The reason is that Prime is mediocre compared with real Mathcad and Prime is in its version 3 still missing a lot of feature Mathcad 15 and below.

Thanks dude ... perfect solution.
