  Additional Closure Information:
  Diagnosis: Copy/Paste transaction of Views with dimensions
  relying on old corrupted "connectors to geometry"
  components can fail.
  Reason: DCR_8 is a new DUA rule that cleans such "connectors
  to geometry"
  Technical explanation of the defect:
  Regarding the dimensions that are not pasted (angle
  dimensions):
  This behavior is correct : those dimensions use the numerical
  display format called "ANGLE,DG" which is a customized
  format.
  As mentioned in the Interactive Drafting online documentation
  in the section Basic Tasks/Copying and Pasting Elements,
  "When pasting elements from a drawing to another drawing
  which uses a different standard: some elements (such as
  dimensions) may not be supported by this standard. In this
  case, such non-supported elements will not be created."
  In other words, the target drawing document must use the same
  standard than the original one.
  Use the extracted standard XML. If you create the new drawing
  using this standard, the paste performs correctly.
  Technical explanation of the correction:
  .
  Possible by-pass and/or correction limitation:
  Use the right standard for target drawing.
