I'm only getting the first item on the clipboard

I'm only getting the first item on the clipboard

I'm only getting the first item on the clipboard

(OP)
I'm only getting the first item on the clipboard, not the second or third thing I copy-clipped. Only the first thing keeps coming in. This is new with my 2006. Any suggestions?

RE: I'm only getting the first item on the clipboard

Is PICKADD set to 1?
Are you using "copy with base point" or just Ctrl+C?

I thought pickadd controlled whether you needed to hold the shift key to add to a selection set, but I may be mistaken. Yes it is set to 1, and I'm using copy-base (from the right-button pop-up menu), to pick up with a base point.

Are the objects on locked layers?
Can you move (copy, delete) the selection set?
