Will the MathCAD add-in for SolidWorks work with MathCAD 14 and SolidWorks 2013 x64 on Win7-64bit?
Are there any unpleasant side effects?
Are any esoteric procedures required to make it work?
If so, what procedures?
I want to use this unsupported add-in but do not want chance damaging my SolidWorks or Windows installation.
If someone has tried this add-in I would like to hear from them.
In addition:
The provided Word file says to register the dll file "Mathcad_15.dll";
but what do you do with all these other supplied files?
Interop.SldWorks.dll
Interop.SwConst.dll
Interop.SWPublished.dll
Mathcad_15.dll
Mathcad_15.tlb
Mathcad_15.xml
I gave it a try:
After successfully registered Mathcad_14.dll and receiving an strong-name warning RA0000. I then ran MathCad 14 and SolidWorks 2013 but could not find the Mathcad_14 Add-in in the Add-in menu. I restarted windows 7 64-bit, ran MathCad 14 and SolidWorks 2013; still no Mathcad_14 Add-in in the Add-in menu. Wanting to avoid DLL Hell, I then unregistered Mathcad_14.dll. So I have no successful result to report and no permanent damage.
In "Solidworks – Mathcad User Guide" guide was considered the following integration, quote:
... It was built and tested on windows XP-32, using Solidworks 2010 and Mathcad 15.It also supports Solidworks 2011...
