Problem Description
When trying to Copy and Paste an AutoCAD Block (cell) from a DWG/DXF file using the commands CTRL+C and CTRL+V or Edit > Copy and Edit > Paste,
the Block will not paste into the DGN. With two sessions open;
- In the DWG, the Block is selected, then copied (Edit > Copy)
- Moving the mouse into the DGN file, select Edit > Paste
- The Block can be seen on the end of the mouse cursor
- When clicking to accept the Paste command, the Block disappears and does not paste into the DGN
Steps to Resolve
- The Block may contain 3D attributes although it looks 2D, as by default DWG files are 3D
- Check the type of Model in the DGN file when pasting
- When creating a Model in a DGN file, there is an option to select if the Model will be 2D or 3D for both Design Model and Sheet Model, see images below..
- If a 3D Design Model or 3D Sheet Model, the Block can be sucessfully pasted
