AUDIT command fixed a bunch of things in your file, seems to be behaving now: looks like you had an invalid visual style assigned.

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

I suggest checking your template file that you typically use.

Are the red lines the same pieces of geometry you show in your first image? It looks like your UCS is rotated so you are perhaps just not seeing them in the same orientation.

If you have another file where the AUDIT did not correct the issue, please share it so I can take a look.

Did you ever find a resolution for this issue?

It's been working fine for me but I just starting getting the same thing, the entire drawing changes to same color as your screenshot after doing copy/paste.

What I have been having to do is switch to Layout mode, then back to Model.

That seems to kick it in the pants until the next copy/paste.

Thx

UPDATE: After closing and re-opening the drawing, the issue went away.
