is the problem only from the source file into may other files?
OR
is the problem only is this one destination file but works fine in all others?
OR
is this a sudden new problem in a 4-year old software that started today?
OR
is this a problem that has always existed for this one user in the 4-year old software?

Let us know more background.

It happens with any original drawing to any destination drawing.

The user reported that the issue started 7/10/2019 and she was able to do this with no issue before.

What changed with their system or setup on 7/10?
What is the OS in use?

Did the user restart their PC yet?

Perhaps its the new Microsoft 1903 update for Win10: it will need to be removed and the PC restarted.

FWIW AutoCAD2016 requires the SP1 update to work better in Win10 but... https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Windows-10-support-for-Autodesk-products.html
