Copy objects between drawings


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a problem with acad files. Almost every time i try copying objects from one acad file to another the program becomes unresponsive. It can be just a line. I am using acad 2007LT. The files usually are edited in acad 2007 LT and newer versions like 2010 and 2011

When i try to copy files the command line displays:

"_pasteclip duplicate definition of block _archtick ignored". After this message is displayed nothing happens. Left the pc to process more than 15 minutes and still noting. Recently i tried inserting such a file as xref, but no luck. The progress bar gets to 99% and it stops.

File size makes no difference because it happens with small files as well as large. I have to say that this problem doesn't accure to all the files, but the majority have this problem.

My colleagues using 2007 lt have the same problem.

When I need to copy something between files I make it a block and use design center to move the block between files. It is annoying as hell.

Any suggestions to fix this problem?

Can you zip up a drawing that is doing this and the one you are trying to copy from and post them here? Can't imagine what would be causing this unless the file sizes are ridiculously large. I don't have LT, but i do have a machine with the full version of 2007 on the other desk. If you can post those files I'll see if I can reproduce your problem.

In autocad 2010 a new file type was introduced. In order to be readable on 2007, files need to be saved as Autocad2007/2007Lt.dwg files, not as Autocad 2010/2010LT.dwg files.

That's a normal message, and that is just letting you know another block with that name already exists in the drawing, but the block should still paste, and use the existing block definition. Dadgad may have a point with the mixed dwg versions. Data coming from 2010 and newer "may" contain information that 2007 just doesn't understand. I would not think it would apply to just lines copy/pasted between versions, but it may.

 

AutoCAD2007 did have a copy/paste bug, but from your description and profile, it doesn't seem to be only occurring in 2007. Here's a link, you can read the description yourself and decide whether it applies to your particular issue. http://images.autodesk.com/adsk/files/cut_and_paste_hotfix0.htm

The problem is the file i copy from, i can paste in a clean dwg file and the result would be the same. I'll upload a file on Monday, i don't have one at home.

I will definitely try this, and see what are the results.

Since using the design center seems to aleviate the issue, it sounds like the drawings you are copying from need a good purge or two. That May not fix it but it would not hurt the drawings at all. You may be pulling unused block references, new layers, and other stuff, depending on what you are copying.

Even if you save a 2010 or newer file down, there are some things that don't translate. Mleaders, for one. I have a customer that I save down for, but if I use mleaders, I get an arrow with no text in the 2007 version.

Does 2007 LT have _scalelistedit? I know a bloated scale list caused that message in 2008 Full AutoCAD.

 

Have you installed all Updates, Hotfixes, etc.?

I'm still usin' 2007 however, many clients demand *.dwg files in 2000.

For my "staying at work, work", I often save to '07 in both *.dxf and *.dwg formats.

When posting, I always post drawings, AutoCAD vs 2000.

 

Many forum members can't open 2010 or newer versions of AutoCAD.

 

Check the link below. Free download(s), numerous fixes.

Thank you all for helping me with my problem.

SLW210 you where right, all the drawings which manifest this problem have a large amount of annotation scales (hundreds). I have no clue how they where created, why or by who, because in the office nobody uses annotative text.

Anyway after clearing the list the dwg was working flawlessly. So thanks for the suggestion.

 

But i have a new problem now. I could do this on the computer of a colleague who has on acad 2010 full on his machine.

On my workstation i couldn't do it.

When i try to open the scale list i received an error message:
