I had the same issue awhile back, when we upgrade autocad, it didn't
copy and paste no more, I asked around but no one new about it because
they didn't copy and paste from autocad to solidworks, just didn't use
that feature, so I had to stop using it to since I didn't really know
what happened. It would be nice to know the limits, version
compatibility, between autocad and solidworks with the copy/paste
functionality. One idea I never tried was to open the drawings file
dwg in SolidWorks dwg editor and copy and paste from that, but it
would be a pain to open it again in another program just to copy and
paste. Might as well block it out and just insert an autocad block in
your drawing, what I a do every time now, and it can be linked, so its
an alright alternative.
