Copy and Paste in ArchiCAD 27

Martin Jules — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 17:04:33 GMT

Whatever the way I used, I couldn't paste the following drawing I copied from ArchiCAD 27 to ArchiCAD 27 within the same file :

I would appreciate your insigths on that.

Nothing has changed that I am aware of.

Select, copy, move somewhere else, paste.

Does this apply to anything you copy & paste (i.e. just a single line).

Or only what you show in your image.

If just what is in your image, then you will need to investigate what is in there that is causing the problem.

Try selecting less elements.

It's frozen anytime, and I was surprised about that.

I am surprised as well.

So you can't copy & paste anything in 27?

Have you tried key board shortcuts as well as right click context menu or the EDIT menu?

It works properly for small and medium projects, but not for large ones.

Are those Archicad elements?

As a workaround use the marquee and save as module, import back and emded.

Although copy should work but maybe this is a hardware matter... Or a faulty library element.

Try also a repair.

How many elements are we talking about? You can check it in the Edit Selection Set Dialog (CTRL+SHIFT+T).

This is another project, which is smaller than that I had shown previously, and still have the same issue.

That is less than 3,000 elements, which Archicad should be able to handle easily.

I recommend that you contact your local reseller with this issue and ask for their help in resolving it.

The screenshot regarding the elements is also enclosed.

So even if you select a single element, you can not copy and paste it?

It's possible with a single element and more, but should be under 1,000.

So obviously there is not problem with copy & paste itself.

You should be able to select many, many elements at once and copy & paste them.

So the question is why can't you?

It may be just a process of elimination.

Select half the objects, copy & paste.

If it works try the other half.

If not then try just half of that original half.

You just have to try to narrow down what could be causing the problem.

Unfortunately it is not something we will be able to help you with just by looking at an image.

I understand, but it would have been like a child's game. These simple issues need to be resolved by Graphisoft for a software like ArchiCAD.

But the question is, what are the issues?

I have no trouble copy & pasting entire models of houses.

You will need to figure out which elements you can not copy and paste before Graphisoft have any chance of fixing it.

Or maybe get your local Archicad Support involved to see if they can help figure out what the problem is.

I will send them the files so that they can investigate, look for the issues, and find them as usual. They used to find serious ArchiCAD issues from my files after pretending they were on my side.
