Problems cutting and pasting on OS

I had been running Draftsight 2018 free on High Sierra, I upgraded to Mojave and it would no longer even open. So I reinstalled high Sierra, the previous version of DraftSight2018 advised that I needed to upgrade, (which I have), and now I can no longer cut and paste. Please can you advise if this is a temporary problem and if so when it is likely to be fixed, or do I need to adjust my settings or preferences etc. Please advise as I have a load of drawings a couple of months old that I need to edit for next week. Thanks
