[mathcad] Re[2]: New MC file question
Author: Aldo P Solari    Posted: Wed, 4 Feb 2009 21:18:46 +0000
MathCAD has a certain way to format documents (not those of data or
text files). MathCAD formats documents in a way it can read
mathematical notation. Nule files (those with no content) cannot be
interpreted by MathCAD - for which we are all forced to the TERRIBLE
TASK :P

of creating new files from within the application ... uhh, really
swetty :P [we are going to get "tennis player arm" of doing so much
click work ... clickclickclickclick] :P

I guess we all need a "refresher week" at Marine boot camp in Quantico
:-)

Cheers!



W/best wishes,

Aldo P. Solari (fisheries biologist, PhD)

MRR> Although you must admit that this is an odd way to create a new mathcad

MRR> including Word.

MRR> In my case, when I right click on the desktop and select "create a new
MRR> mathcad document" it puts a file with the .xmcdz extension (not the .xmct
MRR> extension as mentioned by Marc) on the desktop. If I douyble ick this file
MRR> it should nominaly open this document in Mathcad but as in Marcs case it
MRR> fails for me and tells me that this file is not a valid XML worksheet.
MRR> If on the other hand I start mathcad in the normal way and save a document
MRR> to the desktop with the xmcdz extension this documet ten opens correctly
MRR> with Mathcad.

MRR> Basically the right click shortcut on the desktop creates a corupted
MRR> version of the compressed XML document and shoud be recified

MRR> I am using Mathcad 14.0 M011 (14.0.1.286 [709051735])
