Solved! Go to Solution.
Prime includes a converter for legacy Mathcad worksheets (xmcd -> mcdx).
This converter can be called from within Prime
or as a stand-alone application.
Per default the converter is NOT installed when you install Prime. In case you didn't check the option to install the converter you simply can add the converter at a later stage by re-running the installation file.
EDIT: Oh, I only realized after sending my reply that I had taken too long and Luc had already covered the main points. 😉
Simple basic worksheets usually convert OK, but still need manual reformatting to fix layout inconsistencies.
For some reason the Mathcad files you attached use a huge font size 0f 24 pts, spreading the regions two pages wide and two pages long. I would strongly suggest to set a smaller default font size and use the zoom to get a larger display.
I converted the first and last of your files and changed the font size and region placing in the first.
EDIT: To add some extra value to my post, I have also attached the other seven converted files, just as the converter spit them out.
I'd suggest you come back here if you still experience difficulties installing and using the converter.
The converter is built into your Prime 11. If the option is greyed out for you, then you just forgot to install it. Go ahead and re-install Prime 11 and don't forget to tick the option to install the converter during installation
Success!
