How to import a defined vector from one mathcad file to another?

How to import a defined vector from one mathcad file to another?

How to import a defined vector from one mathcad file to another?

(OP)
I am relatively new to Mathcad (v13) and am wondering how to import a defined vector in one mathcad file to another mathcad file.

Thanks!

RE: How to import a defined vector from one mathcad file to another?

If the vector does not change (you just want to copy some static data from one file to another), copy/paste will work, but with a couple twists.  Select the data in the table, right click, then "Copy Selection" (not copy).  Then go to the new worksheet Menu Insert > Data > Table to create a table.  Then right click and "Paste Table".

Or if the data will change, the other way is to save it as a file, then read it in from the other mathcad worksheet.  Go to Menu Insert > Data > File Input or File Output.  You can save and read in a variety of formats.

Thanks Peter, but I didn't see any type of exporting in a Mathcad type file. Is the only way to do it like mathcad-->excel (or other)-->mathcad? Or is it possible to do mathcad-->mathcad?

Did you read help files in Mathcad?  There's WRITEBIN and WRITEPRN.

IF you must, you can also use Insert-Reference, which incorporates a Mathcad file's contents into the current file.
