    Smile Wblock, copy do not work

    Hello out there,
    In one drawing only, I cannot Wblock, copy or paste and if I try to save the file as a DXF, when I try to open the DXF file, I get a blank screen. Does anyone know anything about this. I am using AutoCad2002.
    Thanks.

    Try purging the drawing, using the command line version of purge (achieved by putting a hyphen in front of the command -purge); and purge everything, including regapps.

    That might work.

    Lightbulb Re: Wblock, copy do not work

    Hi, I had a problem like this after I had transfered from AutoCAD 2000i to 2007 LT. Initially, after I had saved the drawings backwards to 2000 from 2007LT my cut, paste & wblock were unusable. After adding a patch to my 2007 the problem was solved but I was left with hundreds of drawings that were extremely annoying. Is it possible that the drawing you are working on has come from someone else with a similar problem on their system? One solution was to save the drawings backwards to R14 then open again and resave. I did this with AutoCADs free download DWG Trueview/DWG Convert so that I could batch convert my drawings. Perhaps you could try it? Hope it helps

    Thanks, I tried that and the very explicit purge command, thank you. I don't see the Regapps option when I type the (hyphen) Purge command.

    It is possible it wasn't there in 2002; I can't recall.

    Is this a drawing that came from someone who created it using 2007 and saved it down for you?

    Hi Brenda, no, it's actually a drawing I started myself but I did import blocks etc. from other drawings from others.
    Thanks

    I just sent the same file to a friend who was able to WBlock, copy and paste. He sent it back to me but I still can't do any of those things. Very strange.

    Is he running the same version of the software you are?

    My problem was fixed by downloading DWG TrueView from Autodesk. Thanks for the help.
