slow paste

Why is it taking so long to cut and paste between drawings????

How BIG is your cut 'n paste?

Could you cut 'n paste smaller bytes?

I don't know, it could be any number of reasons. Can you provide us with just a little more information?

Do you have all the 2008 service packs and Hotfixes loaded?

What are your system specs?

How many programs are running in the background?

How many CAD drawings do you have open?

What are the filesizes of the drawings you are trying to cut from and paste to?

How big is the chunk you're trying to cut and paste?

Are you working with 2D or 3D drawings?

Did you create these drawings or did one or both of them come from an outside source?

If these drawings came from an outside source, were they created in Autocad or some other program or vertical application such as Civl 3D or Architecture, etc.?

What exactly do you mean when you say slow? Does that mean it hangs for a few seconds before pasting, or are you waiting for several minutes for it to paste?

You have a much better chance of getting your question answered quickly if you provide us with as much information as possible.

By slow I meen 30-40 sec / there is this sort of delay if its a large amount of information or small..

All the drawings are 2D

All the drawings are created in ACAD 2008

some have been created by other people but all ACAD

The drawings are stored on a seperate PC that we use as or "server" no realy a server but thats how we use it..

The PC I work on is quad core (use for 3dstudio) o its up to the job.

(I have no trouble cut and pasting big files in photoshop)

This I think is an auto cad or auto cad file parth issue ?

I had trouble a while ago (now resolved with help from this forum) with x refs generating large amounts of scales, I had to make a tool with instruction from the forum and it basicaly re sets scale list to defalt / previousaly my drawings would take ages to open... Could this slow paste issue be related?
