Question
Mathcad Prime 12 freezes after changing result units
I am using PTC Mathcad Prime 12.0.0.0 (Academic). Whenever I change a result’s displayed unit, the calculation region turns grey and dependent expressions stop evaluating. Automatic calculation is enabled, but the AUTO indicator remains orange.
Simple example:
-
Define d := 3 mm
-
Define a := d³ · π and evaluate it.
-
Change the result unit from L to mm³.
-
The result displays approximately 84.823 mm³, but the region stays grey and a subsequent evaluation of a shows “?”.
Recalculating the worksheet does not resolve the issue.
