If you're working with MathCAD Prime and preparing engineering submittals, you've probably run into the same frustrations we did. Converting large quantities of calculations into PDFs is time-consuming, and the available tools either don't work right or force you to babysit the process. We got tired of wasting time on monotonous tasks, so we built something to fix it.
Our team at Southern Steel Engineers uses MathCAD Prime daily for structural calculations. When it came time to prepare engineering submittals, we'd often have 100+ calculation files that needed to be converted to PDF. The existing workflow meant processing files one at a time or dealing with tools that would crash halfway through a batch. Either way, we were stuck waiting while files were published, unable to use MathCAD Prime for anything else.
Our app is straightforward. Drag and drop your MathCAD Prime calculations, and it batch-publishes them to PDF. You can choose to get individual PDFs or a single combined binder at the end, which is exactly what you need for submittals.
- Background processing - so you can continue working in MathCAD Prime while files publish
- Progress bar with estimated time remaining - so you know what to expect
- Error log for troubleshooting - when something doesn't process correctly
- Batch capacity for 100+ files - because real projects have real volume
The background processing piece was critical for us. Instead of sitting idle while files convert, our engineers can start the batch and move on to other calculations. That's time we get back every single day.
This tool is built for engineers working in MathCAD Prime who need to prepare submittals or organize large sets of calculations. If you're dealing with dozens or hundreds of calc files on a regular basis, this will save you time.
We use it mainly for engineering submittals where we need clean, organized PDF packages. But it works for any situation where you need to batch-process MathCAD Prime files efficiently.
Honestly, this is a tool we would have purchased if it existed. Since it didn't, we built it ourselves. Our team uses it constantly and we keep refining it based on what we're seeing in daily use.
We figured if we had this problem, other engineers probably do too. So we made it available to the community.
