It says Command: _pasteclip, but there is no object attached to the cursor to paste.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Copy / Paste From One Drawing

Oct 19, 2012

We installed 2013 version of Autodesk Civil3D, and strange things with Copy/Paste from one drawing to another happend!

If I try to copy some autocad objects like solid HATCH for ex,. from one file to another - I select drawing copy from, select Hatch, press Ctrl+C or rightclick > Clipboard > Copy, then select destination drawing, press Ctrl+V or rightclick > Clipboard > Paste, and I see in command window: 

" _pasteclip Duplicate definition of block _Closed ignored.Duplicate definition of block _DotBlank ignored."The time interval is very long for single hatch copying.

 I tryed audit/purge, and copying the HATCH again,  - and now I see in destination drawing some strange array of LINE obects, it is not my HATCH!  AutoCAD always starts do temporary save while doing this copy.

Else, if I open new two pure drawings, and start copy any types of acad objects between each other, so all works fine and quickly, no temporary saves, only remarkable pause starts  above  20000 object copying, its quite acceptable for me, and still shorter time, than copy a single HATCH.  

I suppose the problem is in drawing file, because if we make purge/audit than save and reopen drawing - sometines is it possible to copy, but after all we need to do this each time we want to copy acad objects to another file. This annoying issue have our another team members too, it prevents to do our job. 

I found, that with HATCH object some blocks is ALWAYS copying  from one file to another.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Unable To Directly Copy / Paste Into Word / Office

Sep 7, 2012

I recently upgraded from Autocad 2012 Mechanical.  Previously, I was able to simply select objects in AC, ctrl-c them, then paste them into Word.  I am now using 2013 Product Design Suite, with the Vault addin for word.  I am now unable to do this.  What I notice is that when I switch to my Word window and paste, there's some unknown process occurring in Autocad.  Furthermore, what should be an image box with my drawing in Word is a blank box.  

AutoCAD:  2013 Product Design Suite, using 2013 Mechanical.

Word:  2007, Service Pack 2.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Can't Find Clipboard Panel / Unable To Copy And Paste

Aug 6, 2012

You'd think that being able to copy and paste would be a fairly straightforward task in any piece of software. Not in AutoCAD 2013. The Help file says the commands are located on the 'Clipboard' panel, under the 'Home' tab. I've spent a lot of time searching and can't find them, nor can I find any information about how to turn such a panel on.

This is the sort of thing that shouldn't be a problem in a well-designed piece of software. We're finding AutoCAD 2013 to be almost unusable out of the box, and have to spend ages fiddling with the (clunky) Custom User Interface commands to make it work. Every time AutoDesk bring out a new version of AutoCAD it seems to get even worse. I could resort to keyboard commands, but shouldn't have to. I'm starting to think the best solution would be to invest in a copy of Vectorworks instead.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Copy Paste From Another Drawing Does Not Work

Jan 13, 2013

When I use copy or copy with base point and paste or paste to original coordinates in another drawing, nothing is being copied.

I use autocad 2013

The isuue is dwg related. It only happens when i paste to some of my dwg (usualy the most important ones...). All the drawing files that are affected are in 2013 format, but if i save them to older version the problem persist.

I ve tried
-purge r, purge a, audit, save
-wblock explode, purge a, audit, save
to no avail.

Tried many other solutions sa well, but nothing worked. What on earth could be wrong with DWG to prevent pasting from another drawing? Those drawings have been saved to lower formats before.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Copy And Paste As Block In Drawing?

Oct 11, 2013

I have had this issue in 2013 and now after downloadign 2014 the same problem has come up. Drawing is fine other than every so often after you copy a group of items and try to paste it as a block it thinks for about 10-15 seconds then when you are prompted to enter a base point it doesnt show up. I can however select items, copy, and paste as long as it is not a block.  I have tried to copy and paste a block that consists of just two polylines so I know it is not a size issue. To add more confusion if I shut down my computer and restart open the same file and try to copy and paste the same item as a block it will allow me to do it once and then it wont work again.  I have attached a screenshot of the command history while trying to paste as block.  I am not sure why it substitued all of these items? I dont need to shut down and restart everytime I need a new block inserted.

AutoCad 2D :: Copy / Paste To New Drawing Not Working?

Jan 2, 2012

Still getting used to the new versions of AutoCAD, I'm using AutoCAD 2012 Lt version.

So my problem is, I want to copy something from one drawing and paste it into another drawing, however, when I copy over my lines/polylines etc, it comes into the new drawing as one straight line, I assume it is in some other orthographic projection to my current drawing, and I don't know how to change it (rotate it?) to suit the current drawing....

AutoCad :: COPY PASTE From Another Drawing Does Not Work

Jan 14, 2013

list all known reasons for pasting and inserting geometry to the DWG might fail.

1) Block that was not created by Autocad application was inserted to the drawing.E.g. the guy who does installation network sent you the file, and you happily inserted his work to your DWG.Bummer, copy paste stopped working.

SOLUTION: Weed out all of his blocks see Block removal thread. Design center might be of use (ADCENTER).

PREVENTION: Before inserting any outside work to your drawing do open it in Autocad and do EXPORTTOAUTOCAD command, than -PURGE /r, -PURGE /a, audit SAVE, CLOSE, RECOVER, SAVE. After that you can use the data more safely and insert to your drawing.

Do check block and attribute names and change to your needs. Try not to have same names if the actual block or attribute is really not the same.Check all the layer names, styles and line types too so you do not inherit what you do not need.

Duplicate definition of block attr_FFL ignored.

AutoCad :: Copy With Base Point And Paste Into Drawing

Mar 16, 2012

When I download a drawing from some suppliers I find that I cannot do a "copy with base point" and paste that copy into my drawing except using "paste special" which leaves me with an unmanageable image. The source drawing has all the normal (it seems) attributes of a .dwg file and can be edited as a normal drawing; it just refuses to be "pasted" into my drawing. What am I missing here!

AutoCAD 2013 :: Unique Copy N Paste

Jul 15, 2013

I cannot seem to paste into this one drawing that a client has issued to me. I can paste into all associated x-refs just fine, but the main drawing is the issue. Before we get into things I have tried all the most common things already.

-  I have checked layeer Visibilties and unreconciled layers.

- I have run audit and have purged/scalelistedit all drawings

- I have done almost everything ><

To sum it up I think it is global variable of some sort.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Copy And Paste Scaling

Oct 31, 2013

I still have a problem with copy and pasting drawings in the right units. I checked discussions but nothing seems to work. To make things less confusing for me I'll explain the situation in detail:

- I have a drawing file, in metres, that I want to copy to another file.

- My second drawing, in inches, is where I want to paste the drawing from the first file.

Let's say I have a line that's 1 m in the first drawing. When I paste onto the second drawing, it pastes as 1 in.

I tried insunits, units, etc. but it always comes out small when I paste it. Manually scaling the files will lose the accuracy.

GIMP :: Unable To Copy / Paste From Internet

Jul 3, 2013

I recently updated Gimp on my Mac Version 10.7.5. I can't copy and paste images from the Internet. Instead, I have to save that image, open it on Gimp, select all of it, and then I can paste it onto my work document. It's a huge hassle, and I'm sure there's a way I can copy and paste images from the Internet. When I try, it just says there is no image data on the clipboard for me to paste.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Copy Components Of Part And Paste Into New Drawing

Dec 3, 2012

I recently downloaded a .SAT part from 3dcontentcentral.com and i would like to use it in an assembly i am creating.  Problem is, once i pulled it into Inventor, I am unable to edit the part to match the dimensions necessary for my assembly.  How do i go about editing this part? Is there a way that i can copy the components of the part and paste into a new drawing, save as a normal part, then edit?  I have attached a screenshop of the part so you can see the Model tree. 

p.s. I would simply redraw the part, however i am having a lot of difficulty getting it to look as i want it to.

AutoCad :: Copy And Paste Pulls In DimStyles That Aren't Even In Drawing

Sep 29, 2011

Anytime I copy and paste anything from one drawing to another (which I do often) it pulls in Layers, Dimstyles, and Blocks that aren't even in the drawing I am copying from?! I don't understand it. I have purged everything from each drawing prior to copying and pasting but after I paste, the items I just purged reappear. It is getting extremely annoying to have to purge CERTAIN items from a drawing that I don't want. I can't even do a purge all because there are blocks that I have in my prototype that I want to keep but don't necessarily use all the time.

I do not get into lisp commands, certain block items, 3d, etc. but am familiar with just about everything but I have ALWAYS had this problem. Just recently I have started to really concern myself with keeping my drawings "clean". I do not want dimension styles in my drawings that are not used and/or are not mine! Same with blocks! I would understand if I was copying block items into my new drawings that it might pull in some thing that are used inside the block that you may not see but this is happening when I pull in SINGLE LINES!!! ON LAYERS THAT ARE ALREADY IN MY DRAWING! It will pull in completely unused layers.

AutoCAD 2013 :: SHX File Embedded In Copy / Paste

Jun 13, 2013

If I copy a single line from a file then paste it into a new file with nothing in it and save, I end up with a 3 or 4 meg file.  I noticed when I paste the line into the new drawing, I get the following message over and over:

Substituting [simplex.shx] for [OA_Edina.shx].
Substituting [simplex.shx] for [OA_2007.shx].

We have files that are 20 or 30 meg that should only be 1 or 2 meg.  Purge and audit in the .dwg does not work.  One way to fix it is to dxfout then purge and audit the .dxf file, then save back to .dwg.  The audit typically finds tens of thousands of errors.  This process takes a long time and the problem comes back as soon as someone copies something into the file.  We need a more permanent fix.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Cannot Copy / Paste Object From One File To Another

Oct 16, 2012

When I try to Copy & Paste an object from one file to another, appears following alert window: “This application has detected a mixed version of AEC objects participating in this operation. Newer AEC objects will be disallowed from participating in this operation”. And I cannot paste the object copied from other file. This happened to me when I work with Autocad2010 using drawings saved as Autocad2004 in Autocad2013.

Since I am working in a group of people that have different versions of Autocad, I need the solution for this problem.
