Open in Mathcad
This section describes the Open in Mathcad action available only from Windchill.
Open in Mathcad allows you to select an object from a workspace or commonspace and open it in PTC Mathcad.
Open in Mathcad is accessible by clicking on the icon.
The Open in Mathcad tooltip displays when you hover over this icon. Select it to open the file in PTC Mathcad.
* 
Although this action may appear as available when PTC Mathcad is not registered, the action cannot be performed. The usual procedure is to register the application from the Tools > Application Management in Windchill Workgroup Manager; however, there is no need to explicitly register PTC Mathcad in the Application Manager, since it is auto-registered following the initial launch of Windchill Workgroup Manager.
* 
You can enable or disable auto-registration of PTC Mathcad. For more information, see Frequently Used Preferences in the wgmclient.ini File.
The next graphic illustrates the information flow for this action.
Open in Mathcad is not an available action if there is no registered server and primary workspace. You must register a server from Tools > Server Management in Windchill Workgroup Manager, and activate a workspace to make this PDM action available.
