Question

Prime 3.0 xmcd, mcd converter

Most of my 14/15 files failed conversion. The conversion log only says "Conversion failed and Conversion aborted". Why is this?

Isn't there any further information about why the conversion itself failed? Something like because of collapsed regions or the like?

From my experience I can tell that its rather unusual for the conversion itself to fail. Because Prime is different from MC14/15 and has only a subset of features implemented, the converted sheets often won't run as intended, though.

The images I've posted are all I see and no indication of why the conversion failed.

Strange. Usually during conversion a file with the same basename as the converted file and the extension xml is created which contains information, but I think the content of that file is exactly what you see in the bottom part of the window when a conversion line is highlighted.

Does the files which don't work use collapsed regions or are they referencing other worksheets?

I notice that the file which worked is in a different subdirectory than the rest. Not sure if that means anything. As all is on your C: drive I guess you have full access rights anyway.

Are you able to post one of the files which don't work?

Otherwise I guess its time to contact PTC support.

Hello,

I am also facing the same problem I need to open 2 files. Can someone here in the forum do the conversion for me? Thank you.

    Hi,

    Sorry for making the request. My organization doesn't allow me to do that. Alternatively I have installed Mathcad 15- 30 day trial version. But when I run it it says there is a license server error and asks me to run the license setup again. I run the setup and it says successfull installation of license file. But the same error occurs the next time I run Mathcad.

    Is there a way out?

    Thank you.
