Usually in autocad 2016 I copy a portion of a drawing with the windows clipboard and can paste as a portion of editable drawing in the same or another drawing.
In the desktop i can't
in the laptop i can.

I also tried with a similar program DraftSight and i can't in the desktop.
So I have assumed the problem is with the windows clipboard, the operating system or interaction of the windows clipboard with other windows program.

How can I depure the problem ?
In autocad forums no answer. I think is a windows matter.

Best Regards

rdp … probably meaning "remote desktop protocol" … in which an operator accesses a remote terminal … in this case, the operator chooses to copy/paste from that location.
