I converted it to Prime 8 format (with some effort!) before I noticed you have Prime 7.  Unfortunately I don't have a copy of Prime 7, and I don't think you'll be able to load the Prime 8 file into Prime 7.  However, you could download a free version of Prime 8 (or above) Express, load it into that, then copy and paste into your Prime 7.

Thank you very much! It helped really a lot!

Hi Luc,

 

Would it be also possible for you to convert this file the same way? 

Thank you again for your help.

 

Kind regards,

Sorry, I cannot convert Mathcad to Prime. I can 

only change Prime versions.

Ask someone to convert it to Prime 7.

 

Success!

Dear Alan,

 

Would it also be possible for you to convert the attached old Mathcad file the same way you did? Thank you for your help already. Some told me that it a Mathcad file and he can't convert it to mathcad prime version (FYI)

 

Kind regards,

Tadele 

This is the same file!!

Thank you, Alan! It was a file from a colleague and we didn't know if the file was the same or not. 

 

All the best,

Tadele

I have the same problem. I have a large suite of old files created in various versions of Mathcad from 2001 up to 15. Every attempt to convert any of them results in the same error: "Could not start Mathcad conversion process. Check that .Net Framework 3.5 Windows Feature is enabled."

 

I am running Mathcad Prime 10 on Windows 11. The .Net Framework 3.5 feature is enabled; I have tried disabling and re-enabling it, to reinstall the files; I have also tried the offlinee .Net 3.5 installer to see if it would do a 'Repair' install. All to no useful effect; the same error stubbornly remains.

 

I had the same problem last year, with Prime 9; as a result I did not renew my Prime subscription (I am semi-retired and so am reluctant to spend money on software that no longer does what I need). 

 

Does anyone from PTC understand why this is a persistent issue? Is there a solution?

Hi,

As away forward zip up the large number of Mathcad 2000 to 15 files.  The converter is capable of doing a large number of files at once.

Upload the files here and they can be converted,

Cheers

Terry
