"Copybase" shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+C) doesn't work!

[Anonymous]

EN:

I always used the command "copybase" in my drawings. But I never really type "copybase", I just use the shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+C). I guess everyone does it that way. But some days ago, I tried to use this shortcut and it's not working! If I type "copybase" it works fine, but when I press Ctrl+Shift+C (it doesn't matter if an object is selected or not) my crosshair get stuck on the screen, and nothing happens. If I click the screen, the crosshair is free but still nothing happens. And looking at the command ribbon, I can see that no command was executed.

What is this? How can I solve it? I was searching on the options but I couldn't find anything. I know I can just type "copybase" but that's not good, the shortcut is faster and I'm more used to it. I'm using AutoCAD 2014. Thank you!

PT:

Eu sempre usei o comando "copybase" nos meus desenhos. Mas eu nunca realmente digito "copybase", eu só uso o atalho (Ctrl+Shift+C). Acho que todo mundo faz desse jeito.Mas alguns dias atrás, eu tentei usar esse atalho e não funciona! Se eu digito "copybase" funciona normal, mas quando eu teclo Ctrl+Shift+C (independente de ter um objeto selecionado ou não), meu cursor fica preso na tela, e nada acontece. Se eu clico na tela, o cursor fica livre mas ainda nada acontece. E olhando na barra de comandos, dá pra ver que nenhum comando foi executado.

O que é isso? Como resolver? Eu dei uma procurada nas opções mas não encontrei nada. Eu sei que eu posso simplesmente digitar "copybase" mas isso não é bom, o atalho é bem mais rápido e eu estou acostumado. Eu estou usando AutoCAD 2014. Obrigado!

What changed in AutoCAD a few days ago? Add or remove something?
Dies that key combo work in other programs?
Us the jet combo defined as copybase in CUI?

pendean, I didn't change anything in AutoCAD the last months. About the other programs, I don't use any software that has this key combo, so I can't test... About your last question: Sorry, but I don't know what is this! Could you explain please?

EDIT: I tried to find out what is the CUI and I think I did it. Anyway, the shortcut seems to be ok (see attachment), isn't it?

EDIT 2: Problem solved! Your question about the combo key in other programs made me try this shortcut in other random windows and I found the problem. I have recently installed an application called "Gyazo", where I can type a shortcut, select an area from the screen and host this captured image automatically. BUT, the shortcut to do this was Ctrl+Shift+C and I didn't know! Hahaha... I'm sorry to make you lose your time, but it's everything ok now! Thank you pendean! 🙂

Thanks - your solution lead me to mine

Had the same issue - couldnt figure it out. 

We just recently installed Avaya Call Assistant which uses the same shortcut but didnt get round to logining in to it. Good job really, the shortcut makes a call.

Changed the shortcut on the call assistant.

Sorted

This is most probably caused by collision with the function AMD ReLive, a part of the AMD Radeon graphics card driver - see ReLive > Global:

Disable or uninstall this function, or remap its hotkeys. For some applications, ReLive may collide also on other key combinations based on pressing Shift+Ctrl simultaneously.

The hotkey Ctrl+Shift+L is hidden in a different section in ReLive: Gaming > Global Settings > Performance Monitoring > Toggle Performance Logging Hotkey. You can unmap the hotkey by going to its settings (Toggle) and pressing Del.

This method works for AMD Graphics and works on mine. Thanks!
(All you have to do is change the hotkey default)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!  You've definitely earned that Expert Elite Title.

If you often use Copybase + paste with 0,0,0 point maybe you will find this simple Lisp useful:

(defun c:CB (/ sset1 )
    (setq sset1 (ssget) )   
    (command "_copybase" (list 0 0 0) sset1 "")
    (princ)
);defun

(defun c:PB (/  )
    (command "_pasteclip" (list 0 0 0) )
    (princ)
);defun

 instead of pressing Ctrl Shift+C keys and typing 0,0,0 you can just enter CB command.

If you're using the same point  [whether 0,0,0 or otherwise] for both the Copybase base point and the Paste insertion, you don't need to define custom commands, nor do you even need to specify any location in either Copying or Pasting.  Just use Ctrl+C [regular COPYCLIP] to Copy, and PASTEORIG to Paste.  It's also not subject to being thrown off by any running Object Snap mode(s) in either Copying or Pasting or both.

thanks, i was having this problem!

[goncalobrigida]

Thanks so much. Perfect solve! 

Just got a new Radeon, was lost with this.

Thanks, works!

Confirming this is still the cause and solution in 2023. I just turned off hotkey altogether.

Thanks.

For years, I've used ctrl+shift+c and 0,0,0 then paste to original coordinates. But hidden in the crypts of autodesk world there's another copybase command that I recently just learned and found that if I was a beginner I would be very confused. Too many clicks and mouse dragging. Type UCS, enter, W for world, enter, drag your mouse to edit then copy with base point and type 0,0, enter; then go your host drawing and paste to original coordinates.

If you're new to AutoCAD and still trying to get a grasp or have a picture in your mind what and how this program runs, you'd be very confused. ctrl+shift+0,0,0 then paste to original coordinates is a lot less confusing.
