Referencing Worksheets
1. In a worksheet, place the pointer where you want to insert a referenced worksheet.
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+W. A new region appears with an Include << button on the left.
Alternatively, on the Input/Output tab, in the PTC Mathcad Worksheets group, click Include Worksheet.
3. Click the Include << button. The Open dialog box opens.
4. Navigate to the file you want to reference and click Open. The worksheet displays the full path to the referenced worksheet. Alternatively, you can type or paste the path to the worksheet.
By default the include region displays the absolute path to the referenced worksheet. You can edit the path and make it relative.
Variable and function definitions from the referenced worksheet now apply in the open worksheet, as if they are included in it.
Additional Information
• You can select and drag the reference box vertically within the worksheet.
• To open the included worksheet, hover over the file path, hold down CTRL and click.
• PTC Mathcad Prime evaluates math expressions in a top-down, left-right order. The definitions in the reference worksheet do not apply to expressions above the include region. You can overwrite a definition from the referenced worksheet by inserting a variable with an identical name below the include region.
• You can include a worksheet inside a solve block to define guess values. However, in the referenced document, the guess values must be declared outside a solve block. PTC Mathcad Prime ignores solve blocks in a referenced worksheet since these are local definitions.
• If the calculation settings in the referenced worksheet are different than those in the parent worksheet, a warning message appears below the include region. PTC Mathcad Prime uses the parent worksheet’s settings.
