Copy Paste problems in Autocad
Copy Paste problems in Autocad
(OP)
On one certain drawing received from a customer, I am having problems using "Edit, Copy" and "Edit, Paste" to copy parts of this drawing to another. When I perform this action, nothing gets pasted to the new drawing, and indeed won't work within the drawing in question either.
Is there some setting that is preventing the copy?
"Pasteclip" appears on the command line when I try to paste, with no errors, just nothing gets pasted.
I've tried on other drawings, and all is OK, so it seems associated with one particular drawing only.
Hope someone can shed some light on this.
Thanks.

it is a mechanical.dwg
I tested with the 2004.dwg with ADT2004.
1. "_audit" -> 84 errors
2. I could reproduce your problem with "_COPYBASE"
3. so I copied step by step like Miss Marple...
4. delinquent: "JORDAHLSCH-JM_K50-30-Schnitt" -> _explode -> I had proxy warning -> erase proxies -> OK
Maybe that is the way for you...?

After this, I'm able to edit copy, edit paste...but I guess this wasy I've lost any block groupings, but at least I'm able to copy!!
Many thanks!!

Yes you can insert it as a block into a new drawing - this is one way I've found to get around it.
Thanks for your thoughts.
