    Default Make a Line Style Current

    Summary: To be able to select a line style that has already been used in your model by clicking on that line in the view and it becomes the current line style.

    Description: In Autocad there is a command that can be selected in the toolbars called, "Make an Object's Layer Current". It allows you to select a line already drawn in the view. When you select this line it automatically becomes the current line style to draw with. Currently in Revit you need to select Annotate ] Detail Line ] and then select the line style you want to use in the Line Style drop down window.

    Default Re: Make a Line Style Current

    I think that the easiest way for you to do what you are asking about, is to right click on the line you what to emulate, and select "Create Similar". This not only allows you to draw your new line with the same settings of the line you selected, but since Revit defaults to the last settings used (any time you perform a new action), the next time you want to draw that same line type, you can just type "DL".

    This same command works with pretty much everything. So if you want to repeat an instance of an object like a column, beam, slab, view, grid, floor, etc., just right click on the desired object and "Create Similar". It's very handy. This command's functionality is somewhere between a "copy", and starting a new object command.
