Lazer Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 leftmouse click and drag the rectangle over the drawing then right mouse click and select copy , then paste it in the other dwg. That should work in 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galingula Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Highlite what you want to copy. Go to "edit" and choose "copy with basepoint". Choose a basepoint. Switch to the other drawing. Go to "edit" and then choose "paste" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Check your settings - Tools>>Options>>User Preference>>Windows Std behavior - make sure theres a check in "Windows Std Accel keys" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennylove Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 If none of that works, try to make sure that your layers aren't locked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
India Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 After copying your entities, just check the windows clipboard. If there is nothing, then there is some problem. If clipboard has something then you are doing something wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cad64 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Cutting and pasting objects from dwg to dwg is not working using the copyclip and pasteclip commands. Autocad 2002. What is going on? Are you trying to copy from a drawing that was created in 2007 and paste to a 2002 drawing? http://discussion.autodesk.com/thread.jspa?threadID=464436 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtlegg Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Nothing has worked thus far....however I am trying to copy paste from 2007 to 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 No can do my friend. 07 is not compatible with any previous release. There is a fix that allows you to copy from 07 to 06, but I don't know if you can go from 07 to 02. Did you read thru the link I posted? Someone there had a fix that worked for them.

dirtlegg Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Thanks for all the help...I have already inserted the dwg as a block and exploded it but some objects are missing. Not many...shouldn't take long to recreate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmil5220 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 In my case the service wasn't running, so the object wasn't making it to the clipboard. Go to Start > Run > services.msc Find the "clipbook" service and ensure it is started. Once I started the service copy/paste began working again. This cured the problem for me, hope it helps you. Of course if your object is making it to the clipboard, this won't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickserbu Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 maybe if you save the 07 as an older dwg then open both dwg's and minimize so they are next to each other in the acad window and click and drag from one drawing and drag strait over to the other holding down button until it appears in the dwg you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockford Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 First save your Autocad file, in this case, to an AutoCad 2000/LT2000 drawing.dwg. Then its just Cut & Paste, simple. Autocad uses the Windows Clipboard for Copy & Paste tasks. So you can select any object or group of objects and use the Control_C & Control_V keys, or use the Copy and Paste tools found on the 'Standard' AutoCad tool bar. Cut and Paste is also an option. What I usually do is select all the objects I want to copy and first convert all to Layer 0. Then I paste into the other drawing and reassign Layers to suit. Then I go back to the drawing I copied from and use the 'Stepback' arrow tool to restore the orig Layers. If the Layers are the same in both drawings (rare) you can skip this step but I find that many times they are not. If you do not convert to Layer 0, or any other Layer you like and want in the drawing being copied too, you will also 'Import' the Layers into the drawing.
