Hi,
what you are seeing is not an error message, it's just the information that AutoCAD recognized that a block-definition "_Oblique" already exists in the destination drawing, so it does not need to copy the definition of the block, but it does paste what you have in the clipboard.
If you can paste the content of the clipboard into a new drawing, you can also paste it into any other drawing.
The only thing you need to take care about: whenever a definition (block-definition, text-style, dimension-style, ..) already exists in the destination drawing AutoCAD will use these definitions when pasting the geometry.
That can make things difficult, e.g. if you want to copy blocks named "TABLE" (defined as rectangular shapes) but you already have a block called "TABLE" (same name, but this time defined to be circular) in the destination drawing then pasting geometry will paste ==> insertions of block "TABLE" at the points of your source dwg, but the shape as it's already defined in the destination dwg. So you copied rectangular tables and pasting shows round tables, just because the block-defintion "TABLE" already existed.
