I have googled this multiple times and every post is about copy pasting elements or exporting from AutoCAD on inserting views into an existing project. I have had no issue before right click save to new file and the drafting view is exported from a project and saved as a new file

A team member is trying to save views to new file from their demo project. It goes through the motions and then states unable to copy elements from file.

Probably an ambiguous comment but I could not find workarounds to solve this. Here is an autodesk response but it didn't address error to create a new file from a drafting view.
