Dear all,

I would like to copy a matlab figure to my clipboard so I can paste it in Powerpoint as a vector graphic. This is usually very simple, I just choose "metafile" in the cop options. More recently I tried the same thing getting this error message:

Error using print (line 82)

Unable to copy the figure to the clipboard. Increasing the Java Heap Size setting in the MATLAB preferences may

help; otherwise try saving to a file or choose a different clipboard format.

Error in matlab.graphics.internal.copyFigureHelper (line 158)

print(argsToPrint{:});

Error in editmenufcn (line 69)

matlab.graphics.internal.copyFigureHelper(hfig)

Error while evaluating Menu Callback.

I followed the suggestion and increased the Java thingy, up to 4 GB, still same problem. The weird thing is, it's actually a rather simple image of only 4 MB. I'd be happy to upload the .fig file here if possible.

Any hints what the problem might be?

Thanks,

Toby

I also have same problem.It happened when my powergui sample time is 1e-8s. But it disappaered when I tried to get a samller figure or just set the sample time to 1e-7s.

我也遇到了同样的问题。但是当我试图将截图的范围缩小或者把仿真步长从1e-8s缩短至1e-7s时，问题消失了。我猜是因为图内数据点太多加上优化有问题，复制时直接内存爆炸了。

Hi, I'm facing the same problem in copying the METAFILE figure to Word. I'm using MATLAB 2020b in W10. Is there any solutions or any updates regards this issue?

I also met this problem in MATLAB 2020a.

But the problem is gone when I copy the same figure in MATLAB 2018b.

I also met this problem in MATLAB 2021b.

But the problem is gone when I copy the same figure in MATLAB 2018b. But I want to know how to solve this problem in MATLAB 2021b. Thank you.

You can use the highlighted icon in the topright in the image shown . It automatically shows when your cursor it close or on the title at the top of the image, then you can choose the copy icon. That was how I resolved mine.
