I have recently experienced a problem with copying a part from one drawing and pasting into my current drawing in ACAD 2007. The part copied from one drawing and transferring to the new drawing has a predecessor that will not go away. Each time I copy and then past into the new drawing, a previous paste item is there and will not go away after it has been utilized. I cannot override the previous past command. I have purged both drawings. Shut down and rebooted. Set up on a separate computer an into ACAD 2005 copy of ACAD and still the same thing continues to happen. Cannot eliminate the previous pasted item from the database. HELP Please

what are you copying/pasting?
what is this extra entity?
"part" and "predecessor" are not useful terms here, use AutoCAD entity type
names and terminology.

Have you tried exploding the part in the "one drawing" so that you can
purge the "predecessor" and then copy?

I have not tried exploding the part that I am trying to copy/paste but will try that. I cannot get rid of the original before anything happens. It only appears to be happening in this particular drawing. I have since done the same function n another drawing and it seems to be responding fine.
But thanks for the tip. I wil ltry that.

That seemed to be the secret. I exploded the new object to be inserted into the other drawing after reopening the file today and it worked absolutely perfect. Dont know if that is the secret of not but it worked.
Thanks,
Steve

Your problem is that you have a duplicate block name. The information you are pasted has a block with the same name as drawing you are trying to bring it into. Look at all the block names in the problem drawing and then look at the block names of the information you are pasting. Most likly you have a block with the same name. Rename one of them and you will be fine and will not have to explode it.
