1.) Select your Object and then Select CTRL+SHIFT+C.

When you Copy you will Select a base Point and then when you paste the Objects will be attached to the Cursor from this Point. This allows you to perform a Copy/Clip but select the Base Point you want to Paste from. I give all credit to BrenBren (Brenda Richardson) for mentioning the solution in her post on this very issue back in May of 2006. However there are others such as Copy with Base Point. I probably read over a 500 threads over the internet regarding every issue for cut/paste for AutoCad. Note: It took me two days to find a solution to this problem. If all else looks fine, save the drawing under the original name. When you reopen the drawing, copy and paste should now work correctly. In host drawing, paste with a base point (CTRL + SHIFT + V). When the purge is complete, closed and save the drawing. Select object > Copy with a base point (CTRL + SHIFT + C). Check both boxes if you don't have any nested applications. A dialog box will appear and ask you to select what you want purged.
#AUTOCAD COPY VS COPYCLIP CODE#
That code is now preventing you from pasting anything in the drawing.įIRST: Save the drawing with a different name.

If you were able to copy and paste without a problem until reciently, you most likely reciently copied a symbol from another application that has inbedded code protecting the symbol. If you are experiancing Copy / Paste issues in a single drawing, you are probably fighting a Regapps problem. Problem: Copy / Paste has stopped working in one of your drawings.
