Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Document
The document to which the tag will be added.
symId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB ElementId
The id for the FamilySymbol which determines the tag's type.
ownerDBViewId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB ElementId
The view in which the tag will be visible.
referenceToTag
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Reference
The host reference of the tag. The reference can be to an element or subelement in a local or linked document.
addLeader
Type: System Boolean
When true, the tag will be created with a straight leader with an attached end.
tagOrientation
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB TagOrientation
The orientation of the tag's head.
pnt
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
For tags without leaders, this point is the position of the tag head. For tags with leaders, this point is the end point of the leader, and a leader of default length will be created from this point to the tag head.

Return Value

If successful the new tag is returned.
