my cad does not copy drawings from another cad file

my cad does not copy drawings from another cad file, when I try copy a drawing or a block my cad locks and don't paste.

Hi,

Attach a screen shot or a screen cast.

May be the blocks or drawing you are trying to copy maybe in a locked layer.

To test this

Just open a new drawing > draw any objects.

Ctrl+C (Copy) those objects > open a new drawing > paste it there.

If this works fine then your issues may be different.

How are you copying the drawings/blocks? Are you using the ADCenter or copyclip?

Hi arq.patricialrodrigues,

What version of AutoCAD do you have and what paste function are you using?

Copy clip is the one you should use.

"Crtl + C" to copy geometries from one drawing.

"Crtl + V" to paste geometries to another drawing.
