I am essentially new to MathCad and wanted to work thr ough the tutorials for Prime 1. In the second example, it asks you to download data_files.zip that is supposed to contain "example topics data files". However, when I downloaded & unzipped the file, all it contained were a number of *.gif and bitmap files. What is going on here? did something get corruypted, or did this take me to the wrong place? I am using Windows 7 on a laptop and downloaded the 30 day demo file.

Hello!

What kind of training course for Mathcad Prime you talking about?

Vladimir,

I am not taking any course, I am trying to work my way through the tutorials that are part of Prime 1.0. I am wondering if they are incomplete since I downloaded the 30 day trial rather than purchasing a license. However, if I can't learn how to use the software through the tutorials, it will be difficult for me to judge the usefulness of this to me for the types of work I do.

On a simpler note, the start of the tutorial asked me to click on the PDF button and make a PDF file of the tutorial. I could not locate this button anywhere and the tutorial was not clear on where this button was located.

More to come, I am sure!!

In the second example,

Do you mean in Task 2-1 or Task 2-2? I don't see any reference to a file download.

"Entering and Evaluating an Equation"? Sorry, I still don't see it. Which paragraph number?

Hi Vladimir,

In Help, you can find the link to the zipped data files, in the Help topic,
