Gettting Copyclip when pressing F8

Anders_KE — Wed, 06 Feb 2019 11:14:16 GMT

Hi I have just Installed AutoCAD mechanical 2018 on a brand new computer with windows 10 64..

Now when I'm pressing F8 the command line shows copyclip and if I press it again it show Ortho on / off. But the first time I press F8 it exits the command and show Copyclip in command select objects.

The Keyboard is a Danish std 102 Keyboard no special function I the F-key row

Any one who now have to solve this situation?

Also, there is a similar problem faced by another user, and it got solved by toggling the F Lock key. Please try restarting your ACM as well.

No neather of this solved it. On one of the locations where I point to there was some old shortcuts to Autocad Mechanical 2015 add something plot styles I jyst deleted those and then it have worked since

Sorry to tell you but Neather of the suggested solutions was the reason. The Reason was a 3rd party software called UNO SOFT our phone system I had to reset it's short cuts back to default then it worked!
