Copy objects between drawings that are open in a single session.
When you open several drawings in a single session, you can perform operations that can copy the objects between the open drawings.
- Reference other drawings with the XREF command.
- Use the Copy with Basepoint (COPYBASE) and Paste to Original Coordinates (PASTEORIG) commands to copy and paste between drawings.
- Use WBLOCK to save drawing information into a separate drawing file, which can be subsequently inserted into a different drawing. This command is the equivalent of performing a SAVEAS on selected objects.
Important: The Copy-Paste feature in Windows can be used to transfer objects between various Windows applications, but it does not maintain the highest level of precision within AutoCAD. To maintain precision, use COPYBASE rather than COPYCLIP (Ctrl+C).
