paste takes a long time

[lee.johnson]

Hello
using 2008
when I paste anything using Ctrl V or from the pull down it takes a long time for it to actually do anything. is there that can be done other than going back to 2007

Start two new empty (use no template) drawings.
Draw a line in one, copyclip the line from here and then pasteclip into the other drawing.
Is this just as slow?

Copyclip writes a DWG file to your %temp% directory and Pasteclip inserts it.
Maybe the drawings you are working with have tons of scale list entries, or regapps, etc. making them really large? Take a look in your %temp% directory after running CopyClip.

My guess is you have a huge number of scales in your scales list.

Reset the list by running -SCALELISTEDIT (notice the minus sign for command line options), Reset option, then Exit option.
