Mathcad prime API

Sorry to say but its so annoying.

I have been digging my head to get the API of mathcad prime the whole day.

I could only see discussion about the API and SDK files but not the link of any API so that I can download it

and use it in my programming.

I am very new to mathcad and without API I am not able to do anything.

If anyone had a link or document then I humbly request you to share me.

I would be very grateful.

* I am using Mathcad 30days trial version, should I have to buy Mathcad in order to use its API?

Regards,

Prarthana

The API is built in to Prime. The SDK, you have to pay for (a ridiculous amount of money too). As far as I know, it works in the trial version. What are you trying to do?

Automation definitely works in the trial version.

See this thread for additional information: NEW API for Mathcad Prime 3.1

As noted in that thread, "The API is part of Mathcad Prime 3.1 install. Look for MathcadPrimeAutomation.tlb and MathcadPrimeAutomation.dll."

 

Edit: the link above is a very long thread in which there is much back & forth regarding the cost of the SDK.  However, at the bottom, there is some sample code and I made a few important notes.  See the comments starting with https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad/NEW-API-for-Mathcad-Prime-3-1/m-p/12422#424595

You can without any problem use the API with the trial and also with Mathcad express.

The API is found at:

C:\Program Files\PTC\Mathcad Prime 3.1\Ptc.MathcadPrime.Automation.dll

It is possible to figure out most of the stuff by looking at the object browser.
