Hi,

I have some mathcad files that takes realy long time to do the calculation. Is there some option to save results and not do recalculating every time I open the file?

Also I want to export some results from few mathcad files into a single file (exp. excel). I tried "paste link" but it does not work very well.


sory for bad english...

There is no built-in option to do that.

Turning auto-calc off for the worksheet will speed up the load, but you will still have to do the calculations at some point.

You could write your worksheet in such a way that it could save the data and reload it next time you opened it. For example, create a web control check box and check it (web controls save their state when you save the worksheet), then combine execution all of your relevant calculations into a single function call, then write a function that checks the state of the web control - if it's checked then then function loads the data from a file otherwise it calls the function that does the calculations then saves the data to file.

"Also I want to export some results from few mathcad files into a single file (exp. excel). I tried "paste link" but it does not work very well."

Could you post an example of what you are trying to do? (preferably in Mathcad 11 format as well as its native version ... unless you're using a version that's older than Mathcad 11)
 
Thank you, I have managed to export results with "file output"
