The Copy to clipboard failed message in AutoCAD can be caused by several factors, including:
- Proxy objects: Proxy objects represent objects created in a third-party application and cannot be directly displayed in AutoCAD. When you try to copy a proxy object to the clipboard, AutoCAD may fail to do so.
- Corrupt drawing files: If a drawing file is corrupt, AutoCAD may be unable to copy objects from it to the clipboard.
- Corrupt AutoCAD user profiles: If your AutoCAD user profile is corrupt, AutoCAD may not be able to function properly, including the ability to copy objects to the clipboard.
- Not enough free memory: There isn’t enough free memory to store the copied information. To increase the amount of free memory, close any applications that you aren’t currently using.
