I had a presentation this morning which requires me to log out at my terminal & log on at a new site, the conference room. Went through said presentation & logged back onto my terminal a few hours later. Fire up AutoCAD and I go to [CRTL+C]a part of my drawing, and nothing. It comes as CANCEL. No one touched my machine, as it is in my office. I checked that the windows accelerator keys box is checked. It's been bugging me.
Any ideas on what went wrong? I've rebooted and checked a few settings, but nothing has changed. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as this is annoying the hell out of me.

I believe it's something like
Tools > Options > User Preferences (tab)
Check "Windows Standard Accelerator Keys"
D'oH!!!
Never mind. Guess I should read the whole post before opening my big mouth! :oops: :roll:

Did you try unchecking it, restarting autocad, check it again and restart one more time?
I don't know...Sorry :?

Tried that, nothing. Oh well. I'm still checking a few things..

Do you have sticky keys turned on? Maybe logging into that computer and getting out changes your windwos enviroment

Does [CTRL +C] & [CTRL +V] work in other apps (try notepad real quick)

I was going to mention about the sticky keys, but it really doesn't fit.
I don't see that you logged into another computer should have mattered unless your autocad runs off the network.
I also believe that you've restarted your system a couple times by now and that doesn't fix it.
My question to you is what happens when you hit the C key without anything else?

It works in all programs except AutoCAD. Odd. I've never seen this before.

C envokes the circle command.
[ALT+C] works as well; so it's not the C key itself.
I was messing with some plotter settings and some menu files that are local to my machine throughout the presentation. I don't know what, if anything, that has to do with it.

Have you tried switching to a different profile?
-
Go to "tools" then "customize" "keyboard"
Did one of these settings get set to CTRl C? or CTRL v? Would this be it?
-
I was messing with ... some menu files
can't [ctrl]+c be set inside a menu file... hehe, i'm gonna do that to someone someday!
look through the menu files that you have loaded (just do a search for [CONTROL+"C"]), unless this is 2006 then i have no idea

That was it. I don't know how I overlooked that. I guess I forgot to look at the basics. The keys were un-assigned.
Thanks all for the help.

OK, forgive me for resurrecting this old topic, but the same thing has happened to me in ACAD 2010.
In the CUI config menu, it shows as still enabled.
They still work in the command line and within the MTEXT editor to copy & paste text, but not for AutoCAD entities unless I use the copyclip, cutclip, and pasteclip commands.
Those commands do still work from the EDIT menu BTW.

Hmmm... maybe I should have started a new thread.
