CTRL + C / CTRL + V A2K4

CTRL + C / CTRL + V A2K4

CTRL + C / CTRL + V A2K4

(OP)
I just loaded A2K4 today. I needed to open a drawing and CTRL+C objects and borders from one drawing to another. I opened a new drawing from a template, and have been unable to paste all of the objects to the new drawing. I opened the Clip Board (Windows ClipBook Viewer) and all of the object were shown, but I am unable to paste all of the objects to the new drawing.
For instance, I just tried to CTRL + C 6 borders with objects included (Total 596 objects), all I was able to paste in the same drawing was 1 border with its own objects. (Total of 123 objects).
I can go to A2K and copy from the same drawing, (Total 596 objects), and then CTRL+V to A2K4 all of the 596 objects.

I have looked through A2K4 system variables, Help file, and can not find any thing to help.

Does any one have an answer???????

I know that I can do a save as, but thats not the point. I could do what I wanted to in A2K, but not in A2K4.

By the way all layers are active in every way.

Thanks again for any help.

Hi Charles,
now I can't reproduce Your problem..., is the command "copyclip" working. Did You check the windowkeys in the options?

When A2K4 was loaded, Express Tools were not. I did notice that blocks with attributes & RText, (borders), would not copy or paste. I loaded Express Tools and every thing will CTRL + C / CTRL + V now.
When using A2K, and Express Tools for what ever reason became unloaded, (my RText File Path would not show), I could still CTRL + C / CTRL + V.
I don't understand the reason behind this, but IT WORKS NOW!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to all for your efforts. I try to help others myself when I can.
