I have received following query from an ADN partner recently, which seems to be quiet interesting.

Question:I want to watch _copyclip and _pasteclip to modify some entities after they have been pasted to another drawing. How do I get a map of the original clipboard objects to the new objects that were pasted in a second drawing?

User is interested to know objects that object mapping between source and destination drawings which may help in executing additionally functionalities on items that being copied.

To achieve we need to watch for AcEditorReactor :: otherBlock while performing _copyclip operation and AcEditorReactor:: otherInsert while performing _pasteclip operation.
