Mathcad import
Open an .xmcd file, or convert xmcd to mcdx content, without Mathcad installed. Home → Import ▾ accepts Mathcad Prime (.mcdx) and Mathcad 15 (.xmcd) files up to 25 MB. Calculeaf reads the sheet, then the AI builds a new worksheet from that reading: headings, equations, and notes written as Calculeaf regions. Pictures in the file are placed on the new sheet.
The same menu has Calculation from picture and Calculation from PDF (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, or PDF, up to 10 MB). AI reads the file and builds a new worksheet from it. Mathcad, picture, and PDF imports spend AI tokens. With none left, the buy-tokens window opens and the file is not imported. A free account is required.
Your Mathcad file is untouched. The sheet you had open is left alone.
What does not come across
The new sheet is a Calculeaf calculation, not a copy of the Mathcad page. Plots, solve blocks, and programs are not live regions. When the reading still has their text, it is kept as a note so you can rebuild them. Page headers and footers come in as ordinary text.
The first pass after an import
- Run Evaluate (Ctrl+Enter ) and read the errors from the top down.
- Check units before you trust a number. Mathcad custom units have no equivalent here, and some compound forms need retyping from Units ▾ so the token is recognised rather than read as a variable.
- Rebuild plots and Given/solve blocks from the notes. A constraint that arrived as an ordinary assignment evaluates but does not solve.
- Pictures are the ones stored in the Mathcad file. A sketch that was only part of a plot does not come across on its own.
- Keep working in the account copy, export a
.leaf, or send it back with Export ▾ → Mathcad Prime or Mathcad 15.
Next, send a share link once the converted sheet evaluates, or print a PDF for the pack.
