Hi,

I am trying to establish communication between 2 Mathcad files cause i would like to Mathcad file 1 to retrieve few data from MathCAD file 2.


I found that Mathcad is able to communicate with other kind of documents (like xls,word, etc) .

Any help in this direction is appreciate.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply.


MathCAD file 1:

E = A + B+C+D

D = 4

C=

E =


MathCAD file 2 :

C= A+B
A= 2
B =3
In the above example i would Match CAD file 1 to retrive the data from MathCAD file 2 for the variable " C" .

Thanks,

If you insert file 2 as a reference into file 1, then everything you have defined in file 2 will be available in file 1. Everything! Including A = 2 and B = 3.

Which looks like it may be a problem for you. You could write C into a text file in file 2 and read it in file 1. Short of a scripted component I don't see another way.
