Hello,

I notice that there are a few people requesting help with Mathcad worksheet. To aid in the transfer of worksheets (as it can be quite difficult to diagnose a problem from just a picture), would it be possible to add Mathcad worksheets to the list of allowed attachments? The most common extensions are: .mcd (Mathcad versions <= 11), .xmcd & .xmcdz (Mathcad 12..15) and .mcdx (Mathcad Prime).

Thank you.

Good idea, I'll add it tomorrow, thanks!
Thank you. :smile:
 
I don't know if later versions of Mathcad can save as older types eg .mcd but can I urge anyone posting a Mathcad file to use an older type so that us old farts can read it.

The 'newer' versions save back a fixed number of versions. (depends what you call new, of course!)

M11: (mcd) 6,7,8, 2000, 2001,2001i
M15: (mcd) 11, (xmcd,xmcdz) 12, 13,14

I haven't got M12..M14 installed, so can't check, but I think they all go back 4 versions.

Not all of the mcd file formats are backward compatible, so M6 won't read an M11 .mcd file, et sim for the xmcd files.

Mathcad Prime avoids the difficulty by not going back to anything (there is, however, an import utility that does conversion to its .mcdx format from Mathcad proper).
