Slow Copy/Paste

[Firerunner]

Hello,

I can't figure out why when I copy something, inside autocad it takes up to 10 seconds for it to paste?

It could be the information is too large.

If your current session with AutoCAD has been going for some time, and if you've done a number of copy & pastes, it may simply be time to close AutoCAD and restart.

AutoCAD utilizes many temporary files and is not the best at cleaning up those files. I have found that simply closing AUtoCAD and restarting speeds up the AutoCAD environment.

I will make a guess that you are using the 2008 version. This had a bug with the plot scales going crazy.

See

http://www.thecadgeek.com/blog/2007/09/26/perpetual-annotation-scale-list/

Command: -SCALELISTEDIT
Enter option [?/Add/Delete/Reset/Exit] <Add>: Reset
Reset scale list to defaults? [Yes/No] <No>: Yes
Scale list reset to default entries.
Enter option [?/Add/Delete/Reset/Exit] <Add>: Exit

Took me a while to figure out when it happened to me.
