AutoCAD 2012 Copy/ Paste option NOT working

[pmora1]

When I try to copy and pate any element within the same drawing it won´t paste it will say: "specify insertion point" and I´ve given up.

I tried PICKFIRST but it is set to 1, also tried checking if it would fit in my screen or if the zoom was messed up, but nothing works!

List the objects you want to copy, what does it say?

[pmora1]

same thing... "specify insertion point"

[Patchy]

Never seen "specify insertion point" with "LIST" command.

LIST and pick the object, dialog box would pop up would tell you what it is.

[pmora1]

... they are lines...

[pmora1]

Double checked.... but it is only lines and dimensions

[Patchy]

EXPORTTOAUTOCAD make a new drawing, open this new one and try copy/paste.

[pmora1]

It tells me that it is an unknown command

do you this this is happening because I am using the trial version? should I reinstall the complete version?

[pmora1]

think*

[Patchy]

No difference with trial version. Attach your dwg here, let's see.

or use DXFOUT to ealier version 12 , DXFIN and try copy/paste again.

[pmora1]

Still doesn't work 😞

[Patchy]

Attach your drawing here let's find out why.

[pmora1]

Wait I think I fixed it... or it never stoped working haha... it just pastes it on a different place, but still on the same drawing

[pmora1]

it does paste the objects all the way to de right end of my drawing though... do you know why that is?

any of those dimensions radius?  if so, the extents of the selected objects will include the center node for the radius (or any other dimension nodes)  If you try CopyBasePoint instead of a simple <CTRL>C - can you place things where you want them?
