AutoCAD Architecture 2012 Pasteclip Invalid Error

[gfyfe]

I have recently changed from AutoCAD 2012 to AutoCAD Architecture 2012.

I have a number of drawings that I created in AutoCAD 2012 that I am now working on in Architecture 2012. 

I have found that the CTRL+C (_copyclip) and/or CTRL+V (_pasteclip) commands do not appear to work properly. When I open up a drawing I created in AutoCAD 2012, use the _copyclip command (or copy with base point) then use the _pasteclip command, I get the error message "_pasteclipe *Invalid*". I find this error occurs if I am copying and pasting within the same drawing or across multiple drawings.

I find that after a period of time, approx. 30 seconds to 1 minute, the _pasteclip command functions correctly again, and I'm able to paste the content that I had previously copied. Obviously, a delay of this length is not desirable.

On a previous post elsewhere, someone suggested using the Audit command (the issue was with a previous release of AutoCAD). I tried this, and found I was able to paste straight away. However, there were no errors in the drawing and none were fixed. After saving the drawing, and returning to it later, I was again unable to copy and paste.

I also find that if I start a new drawing using Architecture 2012, I have no problems with _copyclip and _pasteclip i.e. the problem only occurs if I open an existing drawing, created in AutoCAD 2012, using AutoCAD Architecture 2012.

Any suggestions?
