Safety
Causes and Fixes
Reduce the size of the selection by copying smaller portions of the NC program or data in multiple operations instead of one large block.
Check available HMI memory by accessing Startup > System Data > Memory Overview to verify sufficient free memory exists.
Close unnecessary applications or editor windows in the HMI to free up system resources and clipboard memory.
Perform a controlled restart of the HMI (not NCK) to clear clipboard cache and reset memory allocation if problem persists.
Save all open programs before restarting HMI to avoid data loss.
