groan -- paste not working

Aussie John — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 02:15:36 GMT

Hi just upgraded and going through the upgrade growing pains. I dont seem to be able to copy and paste lines from an xref. ( just get a tiny marquee) also modules arent inserting onto plan (module/xref common link).
sigh.

Hey you're a senior . . . You know the routine.
Are you upgrading to AC10? (signature upgrade otherwise)
How was the xref placed?
Suspend groups on?
All layers unlocked?
Common pen sets in Master, Xref, module? (Or are pens turning white?)
And please elaborate a little about what you mean by module/xref common link?

Hey guys -

I am having the same problem. Our office is AC11 and has yet to dive into the teamwork aspect of archi-cad. For now things go like this. The principle has the main model and then I save off a copy. I do tons of Window wall elevations and then copy/paste the markers into the main model when he is not using it. Then I go back and do the same for the dimensions. However, it works ok, when i spend hours checking their accuracy, but sometimes the dimensions and the markers wont copy/paste in. I get the tiny marquee box as stated below. Help!!

Hm ... you should not be able to do so from an Xref.

Try placing the DWG in the Worksheet.
