sketch11 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 If I copy objects, then delete, "Paste as Block" is greyed out from the right click menu. If I don't delete objects then it work. If I start a brand new drawing, the issue goes away. Why does this happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I can't replicate this issue on my end. Maybe there's a problem with the drawing that you're working in. Try running an Audit and see if it fixes any errors, then try to copy/paste again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch11 Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 Yes it does actually work. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch11 Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 After trialing, it does work sometimes but at other times it doesn't. Sometimes I have to close the drawing at least once and Audit at least twice. Was there another command? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but if you're copying from one drawing and pasting into another, you could be reintroducing the same errors again and again, which would explain why you have to keep running Audit. Make sure all your drawings are clean and free of errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Why not Paste as Block before deleting rather than take a chance on losing those objects? Messy way of creating blocks with unintelligible names. If you explain what you're trying to accomplish you may get some useful suggestions. I added a "Paste as Group" to the 5 Paste options installed with AutoCAD and use RCDATA_16_NEWGROUP as the image for it. This is the macro for it: ^C^C_pasteblock;\(setq LstBlk(vla-get-Name (vlax-ename->vla-object (entlast))));_explode;_last;_-group;_create;*;;_previous;;(command "-purge" "B" LstBlk "N")(setq LstBlk nil) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch11 Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 Quote Why not Paste as Block before deleting rather than take a chance on losing those objects? Because this is painful when you have a lot of objects selected. "tombu" Thanks for the option of the macro. I tried this and it works. Thanks to both for your input. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
