Copy/ Paste crashes AutoCad

Hi All.

 

Im using AutoCAD LT 2012 and evertime I try to insert a block or paste something from the copy with basepoint command, AutoCAD crashes.

 

Any idea what's causing this?

Hi,

It's probably related to the file: try fixing it (them?) by using AUDIT (followed by PURGE), and also ensure what you are selecting are not custom AEC blocks from programs like AutoCAD Architecture or CIVIL3D etc.

No Such luck, did both an audit and purge.

 

I am copying blocks within the file. a block for example that was drawn on 1 layout in paper space that I try to copy to another tab within the same file and it crashes.

 

I just tried to print a JPEG and the same thng happenened.

WBLOCK that drawing into  a new File.

No that still crashes it hey.

 

I think it has to do with the size of the file, its a patch of alot of drawings over a large area with lots of layers. 

 

It seems a common problem though if you google it.

Can you share it? I've never seen a 'too big' crash problem ever. WIKISEND is a good distribution tool that times out eventually. If you are shy about posting it here you can use the email contact method in this forum we are posting in to give me a link.

hi all

I am desperate right now. I has been weeks since I am trying to track down this issue. New machine. Intel i-7, 8 Gigs of RAM, Sandy Bridge, Win 7 64 bit, Acad 12 LT. Ctr+c freezes acad completely. Only certain files cause this, received from our cooperative designers (created in earlier version of acad). Newly created files are OK - no freeze. Creating a block and trying to put it into another drawing as a ctrl+c substitution also freezes acad. Heeeelp me please...

Fix those files: start with AUDIT (answer yes to the question offered), then if needed -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD command (note there is a dash in the file name). and PURGE everything soon afterwards.

 

WBLOCK out all the model content is another good method to leave behind issues, followed by INSERT into a template file of yours (or new drawing) that does not crash.

Thank you so much. EXPORTTOAUTOCAD command helped me renew my faith in AutoCAD. Finally I can copy elements from one drawing to another. Thank you again Dean.

Yea, it happened!

Small consolation.

 

I perused this thread and added to it. Maybe someone will see the bump and chime in again.

The answers here are no more useful than anything else tried.

Google returned a couple of hits that basically have said the same thing for the last 10 years.

One in particular from an Autodesk employee spoke to fixing an Open Space Object. (At least that is something different. Hopefully Dean will chime in to tell us what that is or even relevant.)

Your file crashes in LT2011, LT2012, LT2013, AutoCAD 2011-12-13, AutoCAD Architecture 2011-2012: your file is the problem since these programs do not crash here with that function.

 

What is the source of your file? Nothing I tried seems to fix it sadly except for a routrip to/from R12DXF format.

I cant be certain as the drawing comes from a consultant/s. but it can only be revit or autocad.

 

You mentioned you found a way to solve it though?

 

I saved it down to a R12 DXF and then back up to a 2010 dwg. but that didnt work. Not sure if that is what you meant?

Your file seems to be the problem based on testing here. Sorry, not much else I can do with it.

Wait and see if others can look into it more, but I can't find an easy fix.test

 

Here is the DXF and R14 DWG file that do not crash here: http://wikisend.com/download/292566/test.zip

Thanks for the file, but how did you create it? or clean it so it doesnt crash?

I tried saving it down a version and it still crashes. What did you do exactly? Prior to saving down?

DXFOUT command in LT2013, started a new drawing then opened and saved the DXF file to DWG R14 format.
