Whenever I click the 3D bar plot icon in the Graph toolbar or click the menu items Insert => Graph => 3D Bar Plot, I get a small box around a single rectangular placeholder on the worksheet, but no graph. I try inserting a vector into this, but all I get is the vector name, still no graph. How to get Mathcad 14.0.163 build 701291152 to properly insert 3D bargraphs or 3D contour plots?
I seem to recall 3D contoiur plots working in a prior version of MathCad.
Thanks.
I've got the same version/build (I think) and I've no problems. What do you see when you open the attached file?
Fred:
I get an error dialog "Failed to launch server application", and a squarish outline area where the 3D bar graph would probably otherwise appear.
Do I have a problem with my Vista installation?
I'm hoping to install 64-bit Windows 7 on this machine as soon as I'm through with my last final in a couple weeks, and it may not exhibit this problem after that - *IF it's an OS problem.*
Thanks.

Fred:
the probable plot outline displays the Me variable you're plotting in red, and a yellow-enclosed box reading Value cannot be null. Parameter name: pUnk

The work computer has version 14 and is still running XP. This file also opens at home, running version 15.0, 010 in Vista.
You need someone who knows more than me!
Good luck!
