Can't copy and paste between drawings

Just dowloaded autocad for mac 2015.  Now I cannot copy and paste between drawings.  I've tried a few things already posted within the community but nothing has worked so far.

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi,

Which OS X do you have on your Mac?
Have you installed all updates?
Actually for AutoCAD 2015 you need to install Update 3 from here :

Additional question:
If you launch AutoCAD, create 2 new drawings, draw line in one of them, than copy line to clipboard, switch to the second drawing and paste - does the line appears in the second drawing?

Thank you for your help! I think I figured out what was going on.  The copy and paste function was not working properly only on some blocks I was copying from one drawing to another.  When I exploded the blocks, I was able to copy them.

FYI: I think they are not blocs, but Proxy objects created with one of the AutoCAD verticals.
