Good day Clint,
Welcome to PTC Community and I hope Werner Exinger's answer was helpful.
If so, would you please make it as correct - this will let other readers know about this solution.
Thank you for participating.
Best,

"30 years of continuous development"
A direct quote from the current tweet about the Digital Engineering editorial:
"PTC Mathcad Prime engineering math software has 30-something years of continuous development and field use that has honed its features."
Really?
I seem to recall a step change between Mathcad 15 and Prime 1.0 a few years ago.

Mathcad 3.1 Prime and 4.0 help
I am trying to install Prime 3.1 on my new laptop. I already have a license for 3.1 but it is on my old computer. I currently only have the 30 day free trial of 4.0 on my new laptop but that will expire soon and I need to use mathcad files on after that expiration date. I am having difficulty downloading 3.1 on my new laptop.
Also, I tried to activate my 3.1 license on the 4.0 version, but it ended up just locking half of the features. I need availability to all the features. I really do not care if it is the 3.1 version or 4.0 version. Please help.

Re: "30 years of continuous development"
Do we know in which way "development" is defined by PTC?
Guess we don't use the same definition.

Re: "30 years of continuous development"
Maybe it's just 7.5 PTC employees working 4 years to get out Prime 1, 2, 3, 3.1 and 4.
7.5x4=30 (man)year.
And yes there has been and is field use of Prime, but the honing only took place on some details (I won't say they are insignificant details), but the big picture still needs some major construction work.

Re: "30 years of continuous development"
Oh, I read it as 30 - something (thirty minus a variable called "something) years...

Re: "30 years of continuous development"
it does say "continuous development" not "continuous improvement" & that does easily step around the "negative enhancement" and "feature simplification" issues that may (or may not??) have occurred ...

Re: "30 years of continuous development"
"30 years of continuos development" does neither claim to be innovative nor fast paced.Fake news so to say.

Re: Mathcad 3.1 Prime and 4.0 help
Usually you get a product key and when you install you tyoe it in an get in return online a license file which is bound to the MAC of the primary NIC in your computer.
It depends on the type of the license for how many installations a product key is valid - may ´be just one for a special edu license, maybe 2 for a regular single user license.
If you dpo not intend to use Prime on your old machine and just want to port it to the new one, you should contact PTC support. I am not sure if you can use the online license management to do so yourself. May depend on the type of license.

Re: Mathcad 3.1 Prime and 4.0 help
I have mathcad 15, Prine 3.1 and 4.0 on one PC. Mathcad 15 uses the same licence as Prime 4.0. Prime 4.0 and 3.1 have different licences.

reset toolbar
How do I reset my toolbar positions? when I undock my laptop my toolbars are no longer on screen how do I get them back?
↧
Re: reset toolbar
For Mathcad 15:
select the toolbar that is on the second screen by clicking on the top (blue) bar & drag it as you can any window.
If you drop it on the main Mathcad page it will stay in this shape.
If you drop it on the tool bar area it will change back to its 'docked' form.
selecting the bar at the left hand side allows it to be dragged & moved on the toolbar or undocked.
Mathcad should remember the last placement (it shouldn't need any file to be saved)
Prime:
As far as I know the toolbars can't be moved on prime (but I only have MCP2...)

Andy

Re: reset toolbar
As I understand it you work with your laptop at a docking station and use a monitor with a larger resolution than your laptops screen.
When you undock the laptop while Mathcad is still active and the display is switched to the laptops screen, floating toolbars might be inaccessible.
I don't know of any way to bring them in view or reset the layout to a standard one (whatever that might be).
But if you close Mathcad and start it again you should see those toolbars floating at the very edge of the screen but in a position which enables you to take hold of them and drag them to a new position.
At least that happens when I try to simulate your problem by changing the screen resolution to a lower one.

Re: Mathcad 3.1 Prime and 4.0 help
Yes I could transfer the 3.1 license to my new computer. I attempted to access the PTC support page, but apparently my account does not have access to this feature. Is there another way to contact PTC so they can help me?

Re: reset toolbar
I have an extra monitor at work, so when I'm docked I have two screens. When undocked I revert to the laptop alone.
When a program opens on that second (non-existent) monitor, I've found that there are right-click options from the taskbar that can make the program bring things into the only screen available.
Good hunting.

Re: reset toolbar
Look at AutoIt. It can move windows to where ever you want them. There is a tool that can be used to find the window identifiers. I've used it with Wildfire to correct the problem it had with pop-under windows (dialog boxes that are created under the main window.)

Re: RKfixed Help
Hi Clint Rusk,
by the following expression on, you have to make corrections. The coefficients can not be dimensionless, as is evident.
You can not use the units just wherever you like ..

using vlookup to find a value that is equal to or greater than a value
I need to find a way to use a vlookup function to find a value that is equal to, or greater than, a value. I have a value that dictates the use of a certain size of a device. The device size can be oversized but not undersized. So if I have a determined value of say 5.5, device A is good for 5 and device B is good for 6, then I need to return data for device B from the evaluation.

Something like this?
Success!

Re: using vlookup to find a value that is equal to or greater than a value
You forgot to state which version of Mathcad/Prime you are using.
In Mathcad 15 you can use a function from the (unsually included) Data Analysis Extension Pack), "Lookup" (note the capital "L"). In Prime you may use "lookup" (captial "L" or not does not matter here) the same way.
You may also use Vlookup or Match in a similar way. Replace the "0" by the value of ORIGIN or by the system variable ORIGIN.
Those function use a fix precision based on the value of the system variable TOL to decide if something is equal or not.
So sometimes (when you don't want to mess around with TOL) its better to rely on a small self written function like the one Luc has shown.
