AutoCad :: Cannot Copy And Paste Between Drawings

Nov 21, 2006

I'm using Autocad 2002.

I am having trouble copying out of a drawing (model space) which i received from someone else, and pasting into my own. The properties on the original dwg file suggest it was created Sept 2001. It appears to copy OK (copyclip/copybase), but when i jump into my file and try to paste, the command line just reads:

_pasteclip

and nothing appears in my model space.

I've tried zooming extents, exploding the original, changing layers and line types etc into the same as in my own dwg. I've also tried to convert/save the dwg file into dxf's and other version dwg's....without success.

I have about half a dozen drawings received from the same source, and they all let you copy data into them, but won't let you copy/cut out.

AutoCAD LT :: Can't Copy / Paste Between Drawings/ Incomprehensible Heavy Drawings

Dec 28, 2012

I'm using ACAD LT 2008.

When i try to copy paste some drawing entities from a heavy drawing file to any other file, the program blocks and says 'not responding', endlessly. So i always have to shutdown the program. I experience the same problem using the designcenter: when I try to copy a layout into another drawing, my computer gets stuck.

Another annoying problem with these files is that they are so heavy, while in fact they shouldn't be. I tried the aectoacad file command. In result the file id half as big, but after I open it and save it, again is the original size.

AutoCad :: Unable To Copy And Paste Between Drawings

Apr 13, 2007

I recently re-installed my AutoCad 2002 on an XP-SP2 computer.

I used to be able to do a windows copy or copy with basepoint and paste the item into another drawing.

Since I put AC on the XP computer, this does not work.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Paste From Clipboard To Some Drawings

Aug 13, 2013

Recently I started using AutoCAD 2012 and I ran into one problem which I didn't encounter before.

The problem is that when I try to paste objects from another drawing (through clipboard - usually another instance of AutoCAD) I can't paste them in some drawings only.

The following things happen:

-Autocad behaves normally like when I usually paste objects except there is nothing inserted.
-When I save the drawing after unsuccessful insert, even if I canceled inserting, drawing size increases dramatically (for about 2-4MB).
-If I open new drawing, I can insert objects there.
-Also when I copy to clipboard, autocad takes a lot of time even if it is only few lines.

I tried these thing to fix issue:

-I checked if there are any layers turned off.
-I tried to copy with COPYBASE
-I restarted autocad (sometimes it works but only for some moments or for one insert).
-I did PURGE and AUDIT
-I tried to copy paste in same instance of AutoCAD but that didn't work.

I'm usually using t least 2 instances of AutoCAD (I hope that is not the problem).

May 2, 2012

I have autocad lt 2009, previously when I wanted to trace a drawing I would go to paint, copy the drawing and then paste it in autocad on one layer and do the drawing on another layer worked great, But now when I do the same process it doesn't work.....previously I could draw on the image, could edit the lines, copy, erase, move etc. But now when  do this if I have to copy a line I select copy and when I click on the line I want to copy the jpg drawing goes away, or if I try to erase a line the drawing will get deleted, Do I need to uninstall autocad and reinstall?

AutoCAD LT :: Clipboard Copy / Paste

May 20, 2011

When using the Clipboard to move entities from one drawing to another I need to open the window Tools; Options; and that's it for the Paste as Block and Paste Options to be available. What I mean is do I need to do this with each new session of LT? That I will need to check out. I tried my Template and it allowed Paste without going to the Options Dialog in the same session.

Object selection limit for display of grips is set to 32,000

Oct 4, 2013

I have been having a problem with AutoCad 2012 LT when a am working in the model space I can you the ctrl c and ctrl p commands for a short amount of time and then they will not work. I can open a different model space and they will work in that one, but when I go back to the original one the will not work. I have tried shutting down autocad and the computer, but when I open everything back up the commands still will not work in that model space. I have reinstalled autocad and that brings them back for a short amount of time.

is it possible to copy and paste parts in an assembly but also keeping any constraints set on the part?

I.e. if I had a square block constrained to a flat face of a floor, when I copy and paste the block many times I would like all the copy blocks to still be constrained to the floor.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Copy / Paste Latency

Jul 18, 2013

Me and some fellows at work have been noticing a significant increase in the time it takes to copy with base point and paste into a different drawing file. Maybe it is just the 2012 version of the software , what has changed or how to minimize the time this takes. I don't see any reason it should take up to a minute to copy a few polylines from one drawing to the next.

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 / 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 Inventor :: How To Copy / Paste A Loft

Jul 24, 2012

Okay I've been building random things to teach myself how to use Inventor and right now I'm stuck on a rim I'm creating. My question is.. is there a way to copy and paste a lofted item since there are three parts to it (2 planes and 1 guide) because I need 4 more spokes and if I copy the loft it copies all three parts seperately. Then when I paste and orientate the small end of the loft to the plane I want it tells me "Unsatisfied Geometric Inputs".

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.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Copy / Paste Via Clipboard?

May 9, 2013

I am having an issue while trying to copy/paste via clipboard. I copy (with or without basepoint) on one drawing then try to paste to another drawing using ctrl v. the first two times, the object pastes. On the third attempt my cursor looks like it is trying to paste something and if I move near an object on the drawing it snaps to points, but no object pastes. After doing so I check my layer manager and the layers involved with this action do paste. After a few attempts with no luck, a weird object I have never seen before appears.

I have tried to purge and audit as well as copying the whole drawing to a new drawing but have had no luck.

Side note, after ctrl v is pressed (or ctrl shift v) the command line says something about duplication of some block name ignored.

AutoCad :: How To Copy And Paste Highlighted Object

I'm using AutoCad LT 2013 at work. My issue is I have always been able to highlight and object and then enter my command and perform that command. Something happened and now when I highlight then enter my command and press enter it un-highlights the object and prompts me to highlight the object again. Also if I want to copy and paste a highlighted object it wont allow me unless I type in the command first. I can't figure out what I did.
