Hi, I've problems accessing ClipboardAll.
This is an example code:

Have you tried to clear the a & c vars, it might remember old data (previous), and perhaps introduce a clipwait?

Clearing variables did not help, and I don't understand why to ClipWait (should I wait till Clipboard is full/empty?).

I did some tries an AutoCAD's Paste Special detected 'bad' clipboard data as Bitmap. When I inserted this way, it pasted the appropriate selection's bitmap.

This can be ad AutoCAD bug and I don't know how to avoid it.

Otherwise, the same happens if I ^V and paste into a Folder (making a 'scrap' file) then copy the scrap and try to paste into AutoCAD.

Maybe the AutoCAD uses clipboard a special way, putting the only image of selection to there and storing drawing object somewhere else ?

a) Clipwait after Clipboard := a or c

b) It may very well be autocad, but haven't you provide the solution
with ^C + ^/ + ^/ + ^V, e.g. send ^c^/^/^v?

c) A long shot: why not save the clipboardall data to a file and read it back, does that work? See http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/FileRead.htm with *c option to readline a clipboard data file

if abc don't work I don't know a solution

b) This method brings up only the last stored clipboard content, and not the previous ones. I'm afraid of manipulating only a bitmap image at the clipboard (or the part of the clipboard autohotkey reaches) while the memory stores the real clipboard content stays unchanged when I change clipboard.

I don't know OLE well, but this would be useful when pasting an AutoCAD drawing in an Office doc, for example: the office sees an easy bitmap, not a difficult to display vectored drawing.

Otherwise, as I searched a bit the web, there are programs and scripts manipulating AutoCAD's clipboard without obvious signs of being designed specially for AutoCAD.

I'll check the two other things, thx.

c) makes exactly the same error message.
