Hi, our office is having an issue with Pasteclip on a couple different files.
When trying to copy and paste from one file to another, or within one file, after about 4 pastes, the objects fail to paste and we are left with the following error log: substituting simple.shx to txt.shx
For clarity - this happens when trying to copy text, hatchs, lines, even when we just copied one line. It happens within the same file, and when copying to a different file. We tried restarting autocad and the computer. Once a document has had the copy/paste command acted on it 4 times, it stops being able to paste anything.
We tried copying between two files saved with acad lt 2013, we tried checking to make sure fonts were in the file, we tried purging, re-saving the file, repairing the file and none of these things worked.
please help!
Hi, I dont think they are connected as it is happening to a different computer with totally different files.
And yeah, I am talking about copyclip and pasteclip. Copy/Paste is fine on every other program on the computer, just not CAD, so I think its a CAD problem.
Figured it out. We got a "fatal error: out of memory - shutting down" message for the drawing. Its for sure a disk space/drawing too big problem.
I've been experiencing the same issues as this user. I'm using Civil 3D 2013 SP2. My colleagues at my office are having the same problems, we have one file in particular that is affected. I do not know when it started. I did not need to use copyclip or cutclip (just used copy within the drawing) for months, then I tried to copy some polylines into a new drawing, and it crashed.
I have Windows 7, so I can't see what's on my clipboard, no clipboard viewer.
I think you are on to something.
I actually tried clearing that folder yesterday and testing. Just because I would see that when I would copyclip I it would start saving a temp file then crash at 99%. After I cleared that folder, copyclip worked once, I was able to copyclip then pasteclip into another drawing. The second try failed.
It is drawing related though. I can use copyclip in other drawings and paste into other drawings, it's just one drawing in particular that crashes when I try to use copyclip.
Ok, so try this:
Delete any not used x-refs and purge. Do this for any x-refed drawings. Then use this command: SCALELISTEDIT
Then pick and delete any unused scales. Do this on both x-refed and main drawings.
Then save. Then try again. This will help reduce the size of the drawing, and has cleared up a few of our problems with copy/paste and dissapearing object issues.
