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

[cputman84]

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!

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.
