trying to copy info from one drawing into another have do this 3 time before and not the 4th time i get the message
Copy to clipboard failed
what have a done and how do i fix it???
i have various files which I cannot copy elements of into other drawings.
when i use the ctrol+copy command, I get the "copy to clipboard failed". This has only started since I upgraded to AutoCAD2012.
Not sure what it's called but I have a co worker that has lost the bar at the lower left corner of the window. Where it says "Text:... Dim:.... Scale:....". I have it on my computer and can't figure out how to get it back on his.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have not used AC for 3d drawings in years. But I do a lot of 2d in AC2012. Yesterday, I was killing time and took a look at some of the 3d capabilities while in an existing drawing. I inserted a few 3d objects, but I eventually deleted them. Now I notice that the UCS icon has become the 3d UCS, and my snaps no longer function as expected. Is there some way to purge the 3d info and return the drawing to it's original 2d functions?
View 4 Replies View RelatedEventually after I copy and paste with the clipboard enough times within one drawing, the ability goes away and I can no longer copy and past one item from one drawing to a separate drawing. I need to use the clipboard function because that is the only way of getting an item from one drawing to another.
I have download a clear clipboard function but it doesn't work. Closing CAD and restarting does not reinstate the function.
I've recently made a new drawing template with ilogic prompts for entering data for all fields within the template. It also sets view sizes etc. I have lots of master drawings, which are reused when sizes etc change for a contract, which i would like to transfer to this new template. Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard does not offer this function.
I could get all drawings in a folder copied to specific sheet size on the master template.As the template will probably be developed further in the future I'm very loathed to do this take manually.
why I can't export the "Distance 1" attribute out of thsi drawing using the ATTOUT command. I need to build a series of constrained drawings using Dynamic blocks so I can send info from an Excel spreadsheet back and forth bewteen a drawing. I think I'll have to buy a 3rd party utility for that but for now, how to simply get the info out of ACAD and into Excel thsat would be a great start.

When I copy and from his drawing onto my clipboard and paste it into mine it is waaaayyyy small.
The scale his drawing says it is drawn in is 1:1
Mine is 1/4"=1'-0"
When I xreffed it into my drawing it did the same thing. What do I do?
I am able to insert multi line text into the Drawing Properties Summaryinfo standard field "comments" by using string concatenation in VBA by using "mytext" & vbLF & vbCR "mytext".
But I can't find a way that works in autolisp. This code does not work.
(defun c:FillComments (/) (vl-load-com) (setq acadObj (vlax-get-acad-object)) (setq acDoc (vlax-get-property acadObj 'ActiveDocument)) (setq acDocSumInfo (vlax-get-property acDoc 'SummaryInfo)) (setq *customer* "MyCustomerName") (setq *location* "MyLocation") (setq *project* "MyProject") (setq*comments* (strcat *customer* ", " (chr 10) (chr 13) *location* ", " (chr 10) (chr 13) *project* ) ;_ end of strcat ) ;_ end of setq (vlax-put-property acDocSumInfo "Comments" *comments*) (princ)) ;_ end of defun
The text comes in but all on one line.
I have a user that is having a problem with two particular drawings within AutoCAD.
drawing 1 is 4MB
drawing 2 is 17MB
I believe he is attempting to copy some data from drawing 2 to drawing 1.
*nearly* Everytime he opens these two files and switches to 'Model' autocad crashes displaying the message -
--------------------------- AutoCAD LT Alert ---------------------------
AutoCAD LT cannot continue. You can attempt to save changes into the following file up to the start of the last command: S:****************
After you save your changes, you can open or recover the file.
Should AutoCAD LT try to save your changes?

I need to copy a layer from one drawing to another, the problem is that one of them is in model and the other one is in paper. The method I tried using was: I used the q select command to copy all objects from one layer on to the clipboard and then tried pasting it in the other drawing (which was in paper) - and nothing got pasted.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using this function to copy blocks from one drawing to another. It works in AutoCAD 2004, 2006 but I need to know whether will it work in AutoCAD 2010. This is the code that I use and my question is if I add these lines to check version is the method will work or not.
If Left(Application.Version, 2) = "18" Then
Set oDbx = GetInterfaceObject("ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.18")
End If
Here is the full program:
Private Sub CopyBlock(BlockName As String)
Dim oDbx As Object
' 2007 - 2009 ver.
If Left(Application.Version, 2) = "17" Then
Set oDbx = GetInterfaceObject("ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.17")

Is there a way to copy layers and all the objects associated with it from one drawing to another?
For ex: I am trying to copy office numbers and names (on one layer) from one drawing to another furniture plan drawing. Is there a way to import that layer and all the objects (the office numbers and names in this case) instead of copy/paste each object?
Have several pages that I'd like to copy to a new drawing file. I care about paper space info. Not concerned with model space or view ports.

What i need to do is copy all objects into a new drawingtemplate and automaticaly run some code over this.
And close the drawing where i started the program.
I have a question. I have several 3d models i've set up with 3d blocks in each one. They're separate to cut down on drawing size. I want to create a database of blocks so to speak by copying all the blocks into one drawing. I tried going through Design Center to copy the blocks in, but it won't let me just copy them. Is there a simple way to do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedYou can't copy a sheet within a drawing to duplicate it. So, as a workaround, I saved a copy of the drawing to a different name and tried to copy a sheet back. Pick the view in the browser, right click, copy. Switch to the original drawing, right click paste in the browser. All I keep getting is an error "Invalid input for Request." I even think I remember getting this error before and finding a way around it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAny issues when copying certain object within my drawing from one part of the drawing to another, after selecting the objects I want to copy, I select the destination point and I cannot see any of the objects that I am copying, the command stops working and then I cannot see any objects in my drawing at all....its like I am zoomed out all the way and nothing is in my drawing...I save the drawing as is (seeing nothing on my screen)...calling it up again and all my linework, etc. is there again...it has happened in two different drawings so far within the last few months, and these dwgs. are not linked to each other at all....

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe 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.
I have been sent a drawing of a building site plan...how do i cut out the area i need and then copy that new area into a new sheet
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have AutoCAD 2013. I am trying to paste a block from another drawing to the one I am working on but when I paste the block, the color is different than what it should be. The drawing that I am trying to paste it on was already created for me.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do you copy a non-block item from one drawing to another drawing. With both drawings open, the two methods I've used are the Edit>Copy in drawing 1 and Edit>Paste in drawing or Right mouse button (drop down menu)> Copy in drawing 1 and Right mouse button> Paste in drawing 2. Sometimes one or both methods work and at other times neither works.
Is there another copy method or am I doing something incorrectly?
I was using a 3 MB PDF underlay yesterday and zooming/panning/saving operations were very sluggish.
BTW, when I attach a PDF underlay, AUTOCAD allows me to snap to the lines in the PDF and even measure them. Since it recognizes those lines, is there an easy way to copy the lines from the PDF into the drawing?
Using AutoCad 2011. When trying to 'copy/move to end' a 'layout' tab in a drawing, I keep getting the message:
'ERROR:Copy of layout failed'
I have in the past been very successful operating this command in earlier vers of Autocad.
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....
I am trying to copy the block from another drawing but I can not. With this code until I can, but when you close the drawing of the fatal error.
m_blockInstanceId = InsertBlock("CABECALHOQUADRO", Class_Settings.GetCorrectPoint(new Point3d(line.StartPoint.X, line.StartPoint.Y + Class_Settings.DistCabecalho * escala, line.StartPoint.Z), escala), escala, 0, m_attributeValues, m_dynamicPropertyValues);
[code].......
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.
Wondering if it was possible to have a .idw drawing automatically update all its copies with any annotation changes. They would all be linked to the same model and would update if the model was altered, but I need only one master drawing whose annotations can be altered. The copies would be read-only, and would be updated when the master changes. Does Inventor have a function like this that links a drawing to its copies?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWorking in an idw file, I have a need for two drawing sheets with the identical views of the same part. However, each sheet will need different dimensions and annotations. What I would like to do is after completing one sheet, in one step create the second identical sheet, then just edit/add dimensions and annotations. Is there a method to do this? So far, I have only been able to copy one view at a time from sheet to sheet.
