siderus Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Is there a copy command keystroke. Also does anyone run into this. Sometimes I will click the copy button and it wont take I almost have to hold it down for a few seconds sometimes. This can be frustrating if I select a bunch of stuff and not thinking just tap it and it doesn't take. This may have something to do with my semi-older computer but just wondering if anyone else sees this. Thanx in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look in your acad.pgp to find out what Copy is set to if C turns out to be circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkent Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 forgive me but what is acad.pgp It is a text file that holds the aliases for various commands. All the shortcut keys available to you are usually defined in the acad.pgp. You may be able to type C at the command line, hit enter and the copy command starts (or perhaps circle). That is an alias and it is defined in the acad.pgp. I don't have 2004 so this my not work, but go to Tools pulldown, look at the very bottom for "edit program paramenters (acad.pgp)". That will open the acad.pgp file. You can look through and see how things are structured. Notice that things are listed alphabetically, so look for C and see if Copy is set to C or CO or CP, etc. If not, change or add a line for Copy to be C. If that option isn't there then at the command line type (findfile "acad.pgp") including the parenthesis and quotes, hit enter. Note the path to the file. Navigate to the file through file explorer and open the file there. Here is a sample from my acad.pgp C, *CIRCLE CAM, *CAMERA CH, *PROPERTIES -CH, *CHANGE CHA, *CHAMFER CHK, *CHECKSTANDARDS CLI, *COMMANDLINE COL, *COLOR COLOUR, *COLOR CO, *COPY CP, *COPY CT, *CTABLESTYLE Notice C is circle, and CO and CP is copy. When you are done with the file, hit the X to close, save and then you must either restart the drawing you are in for the changes to take place or type REINIT, and pick the box for PGP and hit OK. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 ctrl c, is what i use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturne00 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 CTRL+SHIFT+C= A lot better so you could have a base point on whre to copy and paste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GE13579 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 The problem is CTRL+C (COPYCLIP) and CTRL+SHIFT+C (COPYBASE) both require a second command to PASTECLIP (or PASTEBLOCK, which could be advantageous). I use CTRL+SHIFT+C for copying across files, but in the same model would use the COPY (CO) command as it's quicker. It all depends on the application required I suppose.

I only use the copyclip when I have to. The only time I use it in an active drawing is if I want to "paste as block" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
