ACAD 2013 Copy and Paste hang-ups

[Anonymous]

My company runs about 10 computers with CAD, and we recently all upgraded to 2013. Suddenly, we experience problems with basic copy and paste, ctrl c / ctrl v. It does complete the function, but the process takes about 10 times longer than it usually would and directly depends on the size of the drawing. For example, in opne drawing, copying one single line can take approximately 30 seconds. In a different drawing that is of a larger, copying that same exact line, same length, layer 0, same position, can take upwards of 5 minutes. The same amount of time is required to then paste it into another drawing.

Our company re-uses many blocks and sometimes, we just pull them from another drawing that will have a whole area of similar design, so copy and paste is a very useful command. Has anyone else ran into this yet?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I learned from another site that the system is doing this because my drawing is on a local cloud; so it saves much differently for some reason I can not determine why.

When I saved the drawing to my desktop the problem disappears.....

Yes, if you enable automatic sync, myybe that is an issue.

But why AC saves the file when you use Ctrl+C shortcut? Have you checked command assigned to Ctrl+C in CUI editor?

If you are having problems copying/pasting from one drawing to another it could be that the dwg you are copying from has DGN linetypes. Have you noticed that you drawings became very large as well? Our plans were going from 3MB to 30MB or larger just from copying simple lines from one dwg to another. Run this hot fix: http://images.autodesk.com/adsk/files/AutoCAD_2013-2014_DGN_Hotfix_Readme.pdf
