Mathcad 15 to Prime Conversion Failing

Hi there- these two files are not passing through the converter. I have absolutely no idea why. I have tried removing the plot and plotting function from the soil force mathcad15 sheet but that had no impact on the conversion and its still failing. Any and all help is appreciated.

The converter does not like the hash character (#) in the file names.

Change the filenames accordingly and conversions should work as expected.

They fail for me, also.   Unfortunately, the onscreen conversion log doesn't contain anything directly useful.   Saving as HTML just produces a basic text display and a bunch of place-holder icons.

 

However, the conversion log does mention a Referenced worksheet.  Have you converted that?

Edited to add:  The conversion was attempted using Mathcad Prime 8.

Wingwall #1 Soil Force doesn't reference anything but Wingwall #1 Steel references the soil force sheet.

In that case, I can only suggest that you use a binary brute force method, ie, cut the worksheet in half and see if that converts.  If so, add half of the second half and check that.  If the first half failed, cut it in half again and try that.  Rinse and repeat.  Hopefully, it shouldn't take too long to zoom in on the offending region(s).

    Well spotted.

     

    And yet the converter will cheerfully open the xmcd worksheets without a problem and (seemingly) do the conversion.   It appears to not like saving file names containing hash characters - some new US DEA regulation concerning file names, maybe? ... 😎
