How to switch MathCAD Prime 4.0 help from one lang to another?

hello,

I installed MathCAD Prime 4.0, and my help file is English. I want to display another language help files.

It is better that display the help files of English and another language at the same time.

Tips:

  1. 1.MathCAD Prime 4.0 help files are based on the technology of Tomcat, it means when you open the MathCAD Prime 4.0 help, you can paste the web address "http://127.0.0.1:64871/index.jspx" to web broswer application, it will display the local language help automatically.
  2. 2.The installed help file pack is in "C:\Program Files\PTC\Mathcad Prime 4.0\Help\project\WEB-INF\volume", you can see what kind of lang pack installed.
  3. 3.The reason i want to different help files is i want to learn more.

How to change the web address parameters in address bar of web browser application, that i can read different help files at same time?

At least in P31 you could change the language that way:

MathCAD Prime Help is a web server in fact, so we can copy this web address "http://127.0.0.1:63532/index.jspx" into web explorer and press "ENTER Key", then you can open other help windows in web explorer and change the language, then we can have two language  help window.

Usage: find what does a  word mean in dutch:)

Where did you get this link from? It does not work.

As we know, MathCAD Prime help files are based on the technology of Tomcat web server, if we want to open help in web browser, we should run MathCAD Prime help first because it is the server.


  1. right click on any help page and choose property;
  2. copy web address in "URL" area to web broswer;

This address doesn't work: http://127.0.0.1:63532/index.jspx

Obviously the port number (in case of your example 63532) is chosen at random.

You have to use the one you see in YOUR properties window as shown by Jeff.
