Mjones5 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 When I copy line work in one drawing and paste it into another drawing the line work converts to a block. I do not want the line work to convert to a block. Is there a setting I need to do? Thanks, Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Have you tried the EXPLODE command? You aren't inadvertently doing a "Paste as block" in the second drawing are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjones5 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 I can explode and all is good. I just copied and pasted again into the same drawing file. ctrl c then ctrl p. The line work converted to a block again. I also ctrl p the same line work into another drawing file and the line work does not convert to a block.

ReMark Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I usually right-click then hover over the Clipboard option. On the fly-out menu I will select Copy with Base Point. In the second drawing I'll repeat the process but use the Paste option. Usually works without a hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjones5 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 I do not understand why it works in one drawing and not the other. There must be a setting I need to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I don't believe there is a setting you can change to make it work. It may have something to do with the version the drawing was created in or possibly edited/saved in at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana W Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Ctrl+shift+v = paste as block. I've been known to hit both ctrl and shift by accident. ctrl+p is PLOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Everyone should try the Clipboard add-on by Autodesk Labs. Lets you keep multiple clips, gives a preview, lets you name each one, easily paste as block or not, easily export a clip to a separate drawing for use later. http://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/ACD/Detail/Index?id=autodesk.appstore.exchange.autodesk.com%3aADNPlugins_ClipboardManager%3aen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
