COPYCLIP and PASTECLIP is not working
COPYCLIP and PASTECLIP is not working
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I am having issues with COPYCLIP (ctrl-c) and PASTECLIP (ctrl-v) in autocad.
I received a drawing from a client and I want to copy/paste it into a new drawing, so we can have it in my company's template. And right now, the command is not working. In the client's drawing, when I COPYCLIP, the command line responded and found all the items. But when I tried to paste it into a new drawing, the command line just shows "_pasteclip" and nothing happens, instead of "_pasteclip Specify insertion point."
I am wondering if it is some sort of protection the client had setup in the drawing to avoid this whole copy/paste thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

RE: COPYCLIP and PASTECLIP is not working
did you "_audit the *.dwg? Try to insert it as a block. What does happen?

And it didn't work as a block either. It seems like it is a common bug for autocad 2007. Wondering now if it is a version incompatibility issue?
RE: COPYCLIP and PASTECLIP is not working
maybe the client did use 2007? He has to install the bug fix.

Try this:
Open the drawing you are trying to copy from. WBlock the items you want to a temporary file.
Close the drawing.
Open the drawing you are trying to copy to. Insert the temporary file as a block, then explode it.
Be mindful of the insertion point for the objects that you want to copy.

Converting the drawing into a block did work but not with WBLOCK. When using WBLOCK, the drawing just didn't save at all. I ended up making the whole drawing as a block first and then saved it. Then I insert the drawing into the new one and exploded it. A little round about way to do what WBLOCK was suppose to do. The scale is off but that is a minor issue.
I don't know why I didn't thought about this earlier, since Exxit did mentioned about doing it as a block. I just kept thinking of pasting it as a block instead.
