Hello all,

Hoping someone can help me save a hours of work by recovering someway somehow a file that froze while saving and now will not open. It was done in Mathcad Prime 3.0. It does have some screen grab graphics inserted into it.

    Unfortunately, it won't open in Prime 3.1 either.  Even more unfortunately, PTC chose *not* to continue along the Mathcad 15 plain xml route and have encoded (compressed) the file.   This is a pity as I have a Mathcad 15 worksheet that will read many corrupted xmcd files and often allow recovery around the corrupted regions.   But I can't help in this case as I can't read the mcdx format.   Sorry.

      Stuart,

      Thank you for giving it a try. Fortunately I work off a server, and my IT department was able to pull a copy from yesterday and I only lost a days work. It is a shame about what you said though, some people don't have the luxury of working on a server.

      Thanks again

      Andrew
