こんにちは新一

Inspecting your attached xmcd file shows that it is Mathcad 14 file and not a Prime 3.1 file (which would have a different extension anyway, mcdx I think).

If you had Prime 3 then I think you should also have Mathcad 15 (which is necessary to perform .mcd / .xmcd to .mcdx conversion, unless that's changed between Prime 3 and Prime 3.1). Mathcad 15 should read your .xmcd file without any problem, and you could also convert it to .mcdx format in Prime 3..

Mathcad versions equal to or less than 11.2 use the .mcd extension. I don't know what version you have. I've got M14, which means that I can only save it in M11 format. See attached.

Dear Stuart

Thank you for your reply.

I tried your transformed mcd file, but it can't be used my Prime 3.1.

Prime 3.1 is a free version, so some functions are not available, I think.

If possible, could you transform attached file to PDF file.

I only want to confirm the file inside.

Best regards,

Shinichi

    On the ribbon at the top of your Prime window, you need to select the input/output tab, and then click the XMCD, MCD converter.

    This will open a pop-up window, open the original file (+add worksheets); then press the convert button.

    The process will create a .MCDX file in the same location as the original & also a conversion log listing the items that failed or may have changed.

    You will need to check the MDCX file carefully against an original calculation to verify that it is working satisfactorily.

    You WILL need Mathcad 15 installed as it uses this to read the original file.

    I am still on Prime version 2 but the process will be the same.

    Regards

    Dear Andy

    Thank you for your reply.

    Your indication is true, but my version Prime 3.1 is not able to use this function.

    It may be a paticular problem...

    Best regards,

    Shinichi

    Since you said to Stuart it is free version, I assume that you don't have Mathcad 15.

    Attached are outputs from conversion.
