converter Mathcad prime 7 fails on Mathcad 15 files

I just downloaded Mathcad Prime 7 to see how it would work in converting my Mathcad 15 files. The converter fails and aborts each time, although Prime 7 can still open the Mathcad 15 files (format is not good though). Any suggestions on why this is happening? Many thanks

Werner, thank you so much for your attention. I have Prime 7, and that is where the converter fails to convert an .mcd file. The particular file I sent you calls data from the same folder so it should have empty calls, that is not the problem: Prime 7 converter will simply not open it. I should have been more careful about sending you a file, but since I cannot open them any longer, I have to guess.

I think this new attached file does not call any outside data, but the Prime 7 converter fails to open this and then aborts. I have a trial version of Prime 7, and I would have bought the full version at the end of the trial were it not for this most important glitch. I suppose I could wait for Prime 8, and wait to find out how expensive it will be. Any ideas on that?

You can attach your Mathcad 15 files here for us to take a look at.

Here is one of the files, thanks for the help.

Here is what the converter of Prime 6 produced. No error or abort but the file itself is not working on its own (neither in Prime nor in real Mathcad) because it seems to be part of a larger project, maybe its a file which is included in another one.
