Public method Static member CreateElementInstance(Document, ElementId, ElementId, String, Transform, String, String) Obsolete.
Creates a DirectShape object and adds it to document. The shape stored in the element is either a reference or a copy of a definition shape that was created earlier. How the definitions are stored will determine whether an instance or a copy of the shape will be created. See DirectShapeLibrary for more details. This function is included for convenience. It essentially combines CreateGeometryInstance and CreateElement.
