I recommend keeping a text editor open so you can copy some simple text to clean the clipboard yourself, like a painter rinsing their brushes</P> Tue, 28 May 2024 17:17:18 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-automatically-clear-the-clipboard-once-copy/m-p/1479667#M83859 DavidSolari 2024-05-28T17:17:18Z Re: How to automatically clear the clipboard once copy/paste of features is complete https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-automatically-clear-the-clipboard-once-copy/m-p/1479708#M83866 <P>However, I do not have that issue with any other app not even ArcMap, just Pro.</P> Tue, 28 May 2024 18:37:49 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-automatically-clear-the-clipboard-once-copy/m-p/1479708#M83866 ChadKopplin 2024-05-28T18:37:49Z Re: How to automatically clear the clipboard once copy/paste of features is complete https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-automatically-clear-the-clipboard-once-copy/m-p/1479745#M83872 <P><a href="https://community.esri.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/168740">@ChadKopplin</a>&nbsp;did you contact Esri Technical Support about the software slowing down for you?

You can do this periodically and delete single items or everything on the clipboard while you're working in Pro.</P> Wed, 29 May 2024 15:45:02 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-automatically-clear-the-clipboard-once-copy/m-p/1480304#M83935 LindaWilliams1 2024-05-29T15:45:02Z Re: How to automatically clear the clipboard once copy/paste of features is complete https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-automatically-clear-the-clipboard-once-copy/m-p/1480340#M83939 <P>Thank you Linda, I have used this.</P> Wed, 29 May 2024 16:19:38 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-automatically-clear-the-clipboard-once-copy/m-p/1480340#M83939 ChadKopplin 2024-05-29T16:19:38Z
