Question

Corrupted File Unable to Open

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.0.0

I was using Mathcad Prime to perform a series of calculations. After attempting to edit the amount of decimal places I wanted to display, the application froze and then crashed. Before crashing, the file I was working in had saved, however when I attempt to reopen the saved file, the application prompts me with the message written below in the "Error Messages or Warnings" section. I has saved my original file once I created it, however I had not periodically saved while working. The file that did save, saved as a new file on my computer. I was roughly 5 pages into the file and would like to recover my work if at all possible. I am working on a very time sensitive project that will be greatly impacted if this file cannot be recovered.
Thank you in advance, Austin Picaso

Here are the errors that I faced

Hi Austen,

Please upload the file.  Some people in the community may be able to reopen it.

Cheers

Upload the worksheet (.mcdx) file (not the .log file).

 

Success!
