paste with base point doent work?

Hey All,

Since 2 days i can paste objects any more wich i copy with base point from another drawing.

When i say paste it doesnt give the question to wich point i wanna paste.

I cant find the problem did i hit a hotkey wich disable it or?

Please help me

Regards Marcel

Where is your objected pasted then?

Are u using the keys ctrl+shft+c, or are you clicking on toolbars, or via menu?

Is shift lock on?

I tried everything tryed to use ctrl shift c and ctrl shift v to paste.

this normally works, also tried to paste as a block. then it says _pasteclip and then its back to cammand:

I dont get the point to say to wich coördinates.

Regards Marcel

but your object is pasted somewhere?

not at all, doesnt even paste, but when i copy with baste point it ask wich coördinates.

But when pasting nothing happens not even in a new drawing.

if i try another item it works :S weird somehow the block i try to copy is hidden or unable to copy, u have any idea how i can change that?

Try the rename command?

Rename the block.

Eventualy explode it and redefine it.

What version of AutoCAD are you using? Is this one drawing or all drawings? Do you have all of your updates for your version of AutoCAD? What Version of AutoCAD created the drawings?

There is no command "Paste with Basepoint", if you "Copy with Basepoint" you will be prompted for a location to paste the object.

I know someone always suggests this, but if I understand correctly, this problem is intermittent. Try a cold reboot. Save your drawing, close autocad and everything else, and do a cold restart. By that I mean let the computer shut all the way down. Wait till you hear the hard drive stop spinning before you power back up. See if that clears some of it up. If not, it only costs a couple minutes, but that will clear out all the "cobwebs" that collect from leaving a PC running for a long time.

I forgot most about AutoCAD, but does pickfirst effect this in any way?

Never mind - I'm trying to pull stuff out of my brain that is long gone.

It would effect Selecting the object to be COPIED, but Should have No Effect on PASTE. This is a long known problem with AutoCAD from around the 2004-2007 versions, there is a hotfix, but it only applies to the version that created it.

It has been awhile since I ran across this, but you may be able to save to an earlier version and reopen, but I am not sure. I used to solve this problem by using DWGGateway to save and open the file, but I do not believe this is available anymore.
