with text content between word-processor files or something. Or try it entirely outside of AutoCAD, e.g. Have you tried it with different kinds of things? Alfred's suggestion about proxy objects might result in nothing being in the clipboard, but if you try copying/pasting some ordinary things like Lines, you should be able to tell whether the process is viable. So I'm guessing that there's some reason that the Copyclip command is not succeeding in putting things there, or there's something wrong with the computer or the Windows environment. When there's nothing in the clipboard, the Pasteclip command does not offer an insertion-point prompt, as you describe. I suspect that it has nothing to do with the drawing file(s), but with the copying to the clipboard. Cause The objects you attempted to copy may contain Proxy Objects, which are preventing the Copy command from working properly. You may have also received a Copy to clipboard failed message when attempting to copy objects in your drawing. But when I tried to paste it into a new drawing, the command line just shows "_pasteclip" and nothing happens, instead of "_pasteclip Specify insertion point." The Copy to Clipboard ( COPYCLIP) command failed or is simply not working. It's time for a sit down, face to face.Įdited by John Connor - 05.Feb. when I COPYCLIP, the command line responded and found all the items. I'd talk to my boss and have him call the architect. If I got a drawing like this from an outside source their ears would be burning. I'm going to stop now before I drive myself crazy. I can copy and paste within your drawing but since it is so messed up I don't consider it to mean anything. Looks like someone flung them into outer space for no reason. Jeez, I just found some rooms actually show up on two different layers! And some objects on a layer are different colors meaning someone purposely overrode the assigned layer color.īTW.there are a handful of objects outside the perimeter of the building (to the top and to the right). I'd call the architect and tell him to clean the whole mess up because it is a nightmare to work with as it stands now. Maybe they were and somebody exploded them? In some rooms fixtures like bathtubs and sinks are blocks but in other rooms they aren't. These commands and system variables are used to modify the program interface. Check on all the rooms there are on layer "0". Whole rooms can be a single block or just a series of lines, polylines and arcs. Isolating the Insulation layer one would expect to see the batt insulation on the layer but except for a few lines there is no insulation to be seen. The drawing is a complete and utter mess. Why does the drawing use an imperial template (decimal inches) but block insertion units are millimeters?Įdited by John Connor - 05.Feb.2014 at 21:32 This has to be one of the more messed up drawings I've encountered in a while. It also found six other database errors that fortunately could be fixed. I ran an audit on your drawing and it found several blocks with errors that could not be fixed. Who created the drawing and what program did they use? Was it Microstation by any chance? Your drawing has over 16,000 duplicate objects and almost 7,000 overlapping objects. How large is your hard drive? How much free space is left on it? How much RAM is installed in your computer? All those objects add to the drawing file size. Why isn't the hanger a block? I'm sure I could find many more examples of the same thing. For example, one hanger consists of 38 objects. Your drawing is not very efficient either. Your drawing contains a large number of dense hatches and in trying to save the drawing you may actually run out of memory.
