Mathcad 14 or Mathcad Prime 2.0?

[ptc-4617884]

I'm trying to use a program that is used in civil engineering to calculate post lengths for roadway signs. It runs on Mathcad 14. Does anyone know if it will run on Prime 2.0? Multi-Post 2001 Sign Program, v1.21, is a Mathcad 14 program that designs ground signs in accordance with the 5th Edition AASHTO Signs, Lights and Signals Specification.

It will depend what features the program uses. Can you upload the Mathcad worksheet?

Mike,

Please see my post below.

Lazy of me. I didn't even bother unzipping the file, just saw it wasn't a Marhcad sheet.

I installed this application (which is attached above) in a separate folder and then copied Mathcad worksheet from there. Can you convert this worksheet for Prime 2.0 version (I wonder whether there will be messages about unsupported features)?

You can run a converter ("Mathcad Prime 2.0 XMCD, MCD Converter"), convert file and open the mcdx files created by the converter in Mathcad Prime 2.0. Unfortunately, right now I have access only to Prime 1.0. So, the attached document below converted for Prime 1.0 version and include some not supported calculation.

P.S. If you have any problems with the conversion, then check out this blog post ("Converting Your Worksheets to Mathcad Prime 2.0 in 3 Easy Steps"): http://blogs.ptc.com/2012/04/09/converting-your-worksheets-to-mathcad-prime-2-0-in-3-easy-steps/

Update: The worksheet for Prime 2.0 version is attached.
