THe drawing elevation is usually Zero, but not always. when you change the UCS, you've just ensured that any error will be magnified because the Z is not the SAME 0, it was selected from a ZERO PLANE, not the zero point. it's using the relationship to Z=0, and that might not be where you think it is. How you guys predict it without selecting the point is beyond me. Pasting does work in DMs, but the keyboard shortcut - the first thing I tried, as that's the normal way of pasting for me - doesn't work, right clicking doesn't work at all in the text area, and highlighting text and then rightclicking does allow me to try to paste via right click, but it does nothing. If you change USC between copy and paste, be aware that your Z-layer plane is only the same at a single point (or ray) if it's different at all. I too am on desktop, and unfortunately, none of the suggestions here work for me. The filename you are looking for will be. So when I hit the 'home' view on the 3D view, it was zoomed WAY out to include the misplaced CAD file that I had inserted.
Try to run ZOOM EXTENTS and then typeEvidently, on one of my attempts while doing that, the boring locations were placed about a thousand miles off the site. Three issues are the most often ones when using clipboard from one drawing to another one: There are different units setup and so the destination objects are really small or really big (so out of screen). If your copy operation was not recent, then sort by file type and look for. I had previously inserted a CAD file showing soil boring locations. Change your view type to Details if needed, then sort the files by date, newest at the top.
#When i copyclip to another cad file nothing shows up windows#
It will take you to the Windows temp folder. Now rotate the image and see if it is really using that point as the basepoint, or if the distance from Z is maintained. Follow these steps: In the address bar, type in temp and press enter.

Next draw a simple horizontal line, and Then use copyclip to paste the object to the end of that line. Then view from several angles using 3dorbit to see if that line is doing what you expected it to do. Before running the copyclip, use the line command to draw a line from 0,0,0 to wherever you think your basepoint will be. Upon changing the ucs, your copyclip may not be using the basepoint you think it is.
