Paste Insertion Point Problem
Paste Insertion Point Problem
(OP)
In autocad LT 2000, on some files, when I copy and paste, the paste insertion point is far from the mouse's crosshairs. In other words, if I zoom way out, I can see the object I'm trying to paste far from the cross hairs. So when I click where I really want the object to be, it ends up far away.
For a test, I copied an object, then clicked at 0,0 as the place to paste the object. But it ended up at -5523.6477, -4822.6994. What's going on here, and how do I fix it? This only happens on some files, although the one I'm working on now did not have this problem, then suddenly it did.

But my problem is, on some files, the insertion point is thousands of feet to the lower left of the object. I need to figure a way to get the insertion point back next to the object.

Use Carl's tip, the "copybase" command.
Or attach an example.dwg here on the forum.

When I simply copy and paste using cntrl-C and cntrl-V, the default base point is about a mile to the lower left. It should be right next to the object. I need to re-define the default base point.
