xmcd convertor not working. I mean i Cant click on it
Best answer by DJNewman

Hello,

Is your Prime 8 in "Mathcad Express" mode (the converter won't work here) or is it a full licence (or the 30-day free trial)?

 

If it's a full paid-for licence, then when you were installing it, did you check the XMCD, MCD Converter at this part of the installation?

What is your Mathcad Prime version?

Perhaps you need mathcad 15 installed too? - Just guessing.

As an FYI, starting in Prime 7, you don't need Mathcad 15 installed to use the convertor. (You did for Prime 6 and prior.)

Hi 

I am new and have the same issue. I have a MathCad15 file and need to use it in MathCAD 8 Prime.  The Converter on the IN/OUT tab is greyed out.  Is there something I need to install separately?  My files are too big to attach. Thanks for any help.

Full paid for version.  Thank you so much...Re-installed. Yes that worked.  Now i have a bunch of errors on the file I converted.  But this is a step up from where I was earlier.  I am new all around to this environment so I don't know how quickly I will work through these errors.  Thanks again.
