Export to XML file

[YA_10963798]

Is it possible to export Mathcad sheet to XML file in version 9 prime?

If so, how?

Thanks

Hi,

A *,mcdx Prime file is actually a compressed zip file of subdirectories of xml files

Step 1) Copy the *.mcdx file so you do not loose the file.

Step 2) In windows explorer change view | show | file extensions if not already set

Step 3) Change the file extension from *.mcdx to *.zip

Step 4) Unzip this now archive file

You now have a collection of subdirectory and xml files.

 To go back after making any changes: is to zip the subdirectories and change the extension back to *.mcdx.

Cheers

Teery, 

Can this process be automatically?. Like I write a program in the sheet itself and when I'm done it generate xml file and export it to a certain location

Hi,

To do this you would need to automate windows to change the file extension and automate the saving of the xml files.

Prime programming using Prime statements within the Prime worksheet itself this is not possible.

I did what you suggested but the worksheet file does not WORK. other files work . why do you think that happens?

The error message you show is clearly not from Prime.

What worked yesterday (ref: "thank you so much it works") and what does "not WORK" today while "other files work"?

What did you expect to get out of the .xml worksheet file?

Success!

Just out of curiosity - what would you use these exported XML files for?
