[solved] Pasting blocks

Post by Harpey » Tue Nov 24, 2015 6:46 pm

QCAD version 3.12.3 on Windows 8.1.
I copy a block to the clipboard & can paste it within the current drawing.
I then try to paste it to another drawing open in the same session & I get multiple blocks from previous "copies" & only part of the block I just copied.
When I view the clipboard it shows the correct block.

Block behavior depends a lot on your particular drawing. The drawing you are pasting to might already contain a block with that name or the block you are pasting might reference another block which already exists, etc.

Please attach your particular drawing files if you cannot solve the problem.
