multisim 10 and 11 freeze when try to copy-paste components

Hi,

 

I recently install the Multisim 11 on a win vista 64 bits computer, until now, everything works well for except for the "copy-paste" function for any component or group of components. I reinstalled the program several times but the problem still persist. Also, I installed multisim 10, and the problem is the same. I wonder if you have hearded about a similar problem and if there is a solution.

forget to add...

when I select "paste", only the multisim program  freezed, the rest of the computer programs opened keep working normally. After a few minutes, the component gets "paste", but is too slow to work without using "copy-paste" option.

Hello!

I was trying to reproduce your error but I could not. It would be nice if you could try the same on another machine with Windows 7 or Windows XP 32 bits. Probably it is a compatibility issue.

By the way, please try to install this, maybe it will fix your problem:

ftp://ftp.ni.com/outgoing/jroberts.zip

This will update your Multisim to 11.0.0.2 ( build 11.0.458)

 
Good Luck.

Don't know if this can help: I had the same problem and installing the updates didn't kill the pain. BUT

I found there are several editor/CAD programs that tries to connect to your default printer as soon as you perform certain operations
(open a project, a file, a cut/paste). If you have a network printer as your default, and it is unreachable from your position/you are not connected to any network, it takes ages to time-out the connection trials and the program gets stuck till it's done.

As soon as I changed my default printer to my local pdfCreator virtual printer the problem was solved.

It's not the first application that gives me this same identical problem (ultraedit is just another one).

 

Hope it can help.

I found the same issue in my PC with Windows 7 (x64 bits) when I cut-paste or undo is performing any action. The system freezes for a few seconds. If a network printer or share printer is the default printer, suddenly Multisim 11/12/... has this issue.

 

To fixed, I switch to default printer to PDF printer, XPS printer or a local printer available. And Multisim runs smoothly.
