Many of my MathCAD 13 files will not fully load as they contain pictures where the Smath loading complains trouble with “metafile”.

As a many year user of MathCAD I used that software to recursively calculate the same things about many different items. The mathematics being set up and correlated with a complex configuration documented by pictures included from other means typically a CAD rendered, labeled model obtained using screen capture.

Do translation means exist now or does this require new functionality in SMath?

Probably the translation should be improved. If you have examples this might help...
