HI Chris,

Not sure I got your idea.

Please clarify the question in detail.

ok,

Here i m trying one more time.

There is shortcut command 'PI' to automatically get Pipe to draw in mouse pointer in Revit Mep 2013.

So i have designed one win app that shows various pipe images that are real pipes in revit. After clicking one of the pipe image and using 'PI' functionality  i m able to get pipe in mouse pointer .

But revit automatically taking random pipe in mouse pointer instead of what i clicked.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks & Regards,

-Nitin.
