Cut/Paste Doesn't Work

[WannaBeCader]

I've done this a thousand times at work but today.......
When I try to copy with a base point (0,0) then try to paste in a second dwg, nothing happens, the command line reads _pasteclip, then nothing, (no error message, no sorry, no "try again tomorrow", nothing). It doesn't ask for a base point like usual, no reaction in the 2nd dwg at all, though in the first dwg all is well, (asking for a base point - select objects). No layers are froze/off, nothing pops in in space, copy to clipboard didn't work. This is Ver 2000i.....Help....Thanks

1) Check variable BASE. It must be 0.0 0.0 0.0
2) Check that drawing in WCS, not UCS.

Command: _ucs
Current ucs name: *NO NAME*
Enter an option [New/Move/orthoGraphic/Prev/Restore/Save/Del/Apply/?/World]
<World>&#58; w

Nope...tried base and UCS on both dwg's without any effect. Thank You though, any other tips?

Are any of the layers locked? If the layers are locked then the command may act like it is functioning but then nothing is actually selected. Just a
thought. :unsure:

Scott,
No layers are locked. Thanks for the thought, keep them coming (I'm paid by the hour :) )

Excuse for the late answer. We shall understand under the order.
1. Execute commands _SELECT _ALL and remember quantity of the chosen objects.
2. Make Copy/Paste one (!) block.
3. whether repeat _SELECT _ALL and look the quantity of objects has increased for one.

If the quantity of objects has increased that the block has been inserted. Question where?

If you have full AutoCAD version (not LT) copy to command line:
&#40;cdr&#40;assoc 10&#40;entget&#40;entlast&#41;&#41;&#41;&#41;And you receive coordinates of a base point of the inserted block.You can higlith the block:
&#40;sssetfirst nil&#40;ssadd&#40;entlast&#41;&#41;&#41;

Search for it on coordinates of a base point the block or visually use REGEN ALL and ZOOM commands to increase viweble area. Then we shall find the reason of strange behaviour.

Fantomas: Not sure what happened, but I'm at home and by typing select, all when doing a copy with base point all works now. Even erased it and tried a second by using a window and it worked a second time. Problem solved but not sure what is going on....Paldies!
