Hello,

 

I'm using Prime 7 and want to convert some Mathcad 15 documents but for some reason the converter button is greyed out and not clickable. 

 

Any tips how to get it working?

Hi,

In PTC Prime 7 the converter also comes as a stand alone application.  Go to the start menu, letter P, PTC and you will see a menu item for the converter.

Cheers Terry

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply. I can't find any stand alone application. I think I will need to reinstall it then and see if it comes them.

    Best regards

    XMCD, MCD Converter is a standalone application and always was a standalone application in Mathcad Prime, but it was always installed unconditionally when Mathcad Prime was installed.

    In Mathcad Prime 7.0.0.0 the following changes were made.

    - Converter does not require Mathcad 15 to be installed on same machine anymore.

    - Converter is an optional feature that user can choose to install or not to install.

    Looks like you did not install it. Run the PTC Installation Assistant again and be sure to check the XMCD, MCD Converter check box on the Customize Application page.

        Hi @vnamboodheri The link in your post above just re routes to this post for me. so doesn't show an alternative post with the solution. Unfortunately I cannot find the solution to this same problem as I have installed several times now and on each occasion there is not an option to install with the convertor.

         

        Anyone with some advise ?

        Hi,

         

        My problem was when we installed Mathcad on my PC we just forgot to check a box to install the converter. Either try to reinstall or just run the installation again (think I had to reinstall). It should be a check box somewhere to also install the converter.
