PROBLEM COPY / PASTE STRUCTURES

Good morning,

I have a problem with the STRUCTURES of Autocad Mechanical 2019.

Since yesterday (perhaps due to a combination of keys clicked at random ... I don't even know) I can no longer do Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V on the structures.

I am able to copy, but the result is no longer Structures, but loose "lines".

 

This is done either by doing it on the current Drawing or by copying / pasting from one Drawing to another.

 

It only works using the COPY command, but this is only possible on the current Drawing.

 

Basically Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V no longer does its job.

 

I tried them all, even on the net I can't find any posts about this problem?

 

Anyone have an idea?

 

Thank you

Davide

Hi 

 

You can accomplish this using two ways;

 

1. For copy/paste, window selection will not work.  You need to select each structure object, cycle through the selection (keeping clicking until you see structure component name) and then use CRTL +C to copy.

Switch to a new drawing, enable "Mechanical structure" on the status bar by clicking the "Mechanical structure" button.  Use CRTL +v to paste the structure component.

2. Use AMSCATALOG and browse to the external file>>Right click on the component view and "Insert as Xref"

In the Mechanical Browser>>Right click the component and select "Localize"

Grazie per il tuo aiuto, ma non risolve il mio problema.

Punto 1 Lo faccio sempre, ma il problema persiste.

Non ho capito il punto 2, se digito AMSCATALOG non succede nulla

But I know these functions well, I normally do what you recommend,
but my problem persists!
