Copy the other way

[Anonymous]

There are the copy command in autocad, and the CTR+C which are different when implemented in autocad. CTR+C allows me to copy something and paste it to another sheet while the command copy cant but has other advantages. 

Is it possible to implement CTR+C in autolisp?

Yes -- it's just a keystroke combination that calls the COPYCLIP command.  So:

(command "_.copyclip" ....

Thanks for that, Kent.

I never think of using ^C or Copyclip, but always use Copybase to copy things from one drawing to another.  The only difference is that Copybase requires you to pick a base point, whereas Copyclip apparently uses the lower left of the objects' bounding box.  I hate typing and the base point doesn't matter for what I'm doing, so that represents an improvement to me!  Yes, even in 2002.
