-----Question-----
I am using AutoCAD LT 2002 and I am trying to copy and paste from a .DWG from AutoCAD 2007.  Wehn I copy from 2007 I don't see a problem but when I try to paste it to 2002 LT It wont do it.  It will just end the command.  Can you tell me a reason or a way arround it?

Nate,

Your autocad lt 2002 won't be able to understand the entities from 2007 at all since it's a newer version. Try exporting the 2007 dwg to an earlier or equivalent release (2000 format or 2000 DXF). Then re-paste those entities. Let me know!
