XCMD on Prime 7 and 8

[StephenConrad]

I just loaded Prime 8 on my computer which also has Prime 7 amd Mathcad 15 installed and running.  When I went to convert a MC15 file using Prime 7 the XCMD function is greyed out on Prime 7 but not Prime 8. Since once a file is converted with Prime 8 it will not open with Prime 7.  Some collegues use Prime 7, how can I produce a Prime 7 conversion file?

Read this thread: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/XMCD-MCD-Converter/m-p/752544#M197640

I think the best way is to have one of your colleagues with Prime 7 do the conversion.

Success!

Luc, Thanks for the comments and suggestive resolves.  However I have tried to reload Prime 7 with Prime 8 already laoded to obtain XMCD converter to install on Prime 7.  It remains greyed out. 

The other comment to have other colleagues convert won't work as I am the author of the original work.

Regards,

Steve

I have the same issue but I also have prime 5 and 6 which can do the convesion. I convert with 6 and then open with Prime 7 and save.

If you have older versions this is a workaround.
