You need to have on tour computer Mathcad 15 and Mathcad Prime and use the converter in Input menu of Prime.

Or you can send here your xmcd file and we convert it into mcdx.

Can someone please help me convert these files, from XMCD to MCDX? I only have Mathcad 3.1. 

Thank you!

Download and install Mathcad 15 from the link above. Your Prime license will work for it as well. Then you can convert as many files as you want.

    Mathcad and Mathcad Prime are sort of the same. Mathcad Prime is newer, but much less capable. To convert a worksheet from Mathcad to Mathcad Prime you need both Mathcad Prime and Mathcad 15 installed (your license for Prime will also work for Mathcad 15). However, since Mathcad Prime is less capable than Mathcad 15, there is no guarantee that the converted worksheet will function correctly.

    Hello,

     

    Can you convert these files into .MCDX please ?

    I can't download Mathcad 15 as I do not have a licence anymore and I have a demo version of Mathcad Prime.

    I would like to use former files.

    1. How did you (manage to) loose that license?

    2. If you qualify as a 'new' user, you can download Mathcad 15 and install it for a trial period of 30 days...

     

    Success!

    You may do it yourself the next time - as user of Prime you are also entitled to use real Mathcad 15 which has to be installed for the converter to work.

    Here is the converted file (Prime 6 format) - you will have to reformat it concerning line and page breaks and the display of arrays.

      Thank you.  

       

      I would have a question: What is the way to change files if someone has WIN10?

      You should state which version of Prime you are using as otherwise, if you are not using the latest, you may end up with a converted file you can't open.

       

      And ... it sure would help if you attach the files you want to see converted 😉

      Always check your posting after posting it in a forum ...

        Hello,

        You have to install the older (and better) version, Mathcad 15, additionally!! That's the PTC way of making things unnecessary complicated. Mathcad 15 is needed for the converter in Mathcad Prime to work!

        And when you have installed Mathcad 15, you may consider looking at the file with MC15 without converting it to Prime format. You will notice that a converted file will need some post processing. Depending on the features used in the original MC15 file its also possible that Prime will not be able to do the same calculations because of missing functionality in Prime. But on first glance it look that your sheet uses just very basic features which should also be available in Prime. The plots in Prime will not show any grids which is a no-go in logarithmic plots. If you want to see grid lines, you will either have to use workaround routines which Luc and also I posted in prior threads or you will have to create those plots from scratch using the very badly implemented third party plot module which was introduced with Prime 5. If you are working in high resolution with a 4K Display you will notice that this plot module is unusable as of the much too tiny fonts. Again - its the PTC way.

         

        Valery already posted the converted worksheet.

        See attached a pdf-print so you can see what the sheet looks like in Mathcad 15.
