As far as I remember we already have discussed this problem in the past here in the forum.

 

The conversion fails because of the hash (#) in the file name. The converter seems to be unable to write files with that character in the name.

 

So rename the files avoiding the character # and the conversion should work OK.

 

EDIT: Just found the old thread

https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/Mathcad-15-to-Prime-Conversion-Failing/m-p/793954/highlight/true#M200949

I would have thought that was considerably longer ago.

 

Nevertheless, I think this is a bug and if you feel like it, you can report it to PTC support.

Correct (that is, I checked the Case 1 file) comes with fail, and no clue as to why.

Contact PTC customer support.

 

Success!

Don't know why, but I think I could convert "Case 1" by

1. using Cntrl/A to select entire worksheet

2. past into a new worksheet

3. converting the copied worksheet.

 

Haven't a clue why this seems to work, but conversion of original fails.
