    Default Copy (Ctrl+C) Deselects Current Selection

    Hi All,
    I have a problem with AutoCAD.
    I selected some objects first. Then Applied the shortcut Ctrl+C to copy them to clipboard. But it deselects the current selection set and asking me to perform a fresh selection.
    I checked this variable;

    PICKFIRST - It is set to 1

    What could be wrong?

    You failed to mention what version of AutoCAD you are using. Older versions of AutoCAD allowed you to change the behavior of Ctrl+C to match the even older way of canceling commands.
