Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN CATIA
  Additional Closure Information:
  Incident Diagnosis:
  When Paste is executed, "Paste error" window is displayed.
  .
  Reason:
  Whenever any feature or geometry is copied in CATIA, it is
  saved on clipboard to be used to paste later. The problem in
  this case arises from the Incremental backup mechanism. When
  Incremental Backup log is emptied on Save operation, content
  of the clipboard has to be flushed. And since clipboard has
  to be flushed, there is nothing to be pasted, and hence we
  get the designed error message.
