Copy to Clipboard failed ..... Urgent Issue

[Anonymous]

Dear Team,

We are using AutoCAD LT and Full Version from 2012 to 2016. But in some of our drawings we are not able to copy a selected part of drawing. It always shows " COPY TO CLIPBOARD FAILED" . We have tried it over different PC using different OS like Windows 7 / 8 / 10 with different version of AutoCAD.

Please help to short out this issue.

Thanks,

Everest Industries Limited.

check out this article on the issue and see if it helps. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Error-...

I might also try other methods of getting the elements into the other drawings if the above doesn't solve it. I might try saving it out as a block, or inserting the dwg into the drawings you are wanting to copy the information.

Hi @Anonymous,

Welcome to the Autodesk Community.

From the description you have provided of your problem it sounds like you might have proxy objects in your drawing. I would look for them and possibly install the appropriate Object Enablers. You can also run EXPORTtoAUTOCAD to create a new drawing without them.

The error might also be due to some corrupt data. I suggest that you run Audit, purge, and -purge>regapps.
