2.get Element ID and get its location
3.Make the user select the palce where he wants to make a copy of the element "it may be another Document" so before this ,I get the Active Document .
4.copy command by elemnt id and new position enetered by user.
The Problem is :
the active document command raises an exception with selection command and Now i don't know how to solve this issue?

I don't believe that you can do this on 2012. The API for transferring elements from one document to an other has been introduced in 2014: http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2013/05/copy-and-paste-api-applications-and-modeless-assertion.html. What you can do is perhaps creating a new element and copy the values of the source parameters. See also: http://adndevblog.typepad.com/aec/2013/05/copy-family-between-documents-via-api.html
