Dear Autodesk Community,
Here at Baron Design & Associates we have come across drawing files that had difficulty when copy and pasting objects within a drawing. The pasted object is not visible (ghosted) and when pasting, the object is no where to be found in the drawing even with Zoomed Extents. It appears the objects never get pasted, and there is nothing selectable as well.
In addition, there is a problem when attempting to paste objects/lines from another drawing onto a file like this.
When copying and pasting I get something that looks like this in the command dialogue:

Would appreciate any assistance on how to resolve this issue.

_wblock the entire dwg.
it helped get rid of some of those .shx files. it is a start anyway. the are still four left after a wblock.
by the way i opened the drawing there was no equipent just words and text.
zero layer was frozen too.
Hey there,
I'm sorry I should say that even with WBlocking other objects into the drawing, or WBlocking this drawing into other drawing files still yields the same problem for me when I come across these drawings. The Baseplan that's XREF'd into the drawing is attached, apologies.
