Examples

Copy C#

ViewSchedule noteBlockSchedule = null;

using (Transaction transaction = new Transaction(doc, "Creating Note BLock"))
{
    //Get first ElementId of a Note Block family.
    ICollection<ElementId> noteblockFamilies = ViewSchedule.GetValidFamiliesForNoteBlock(doc);
    ElementId symbolId = noteblockFamilies.First<ElementId>();

    if (!symbolId.Equals(ElementId.InvalidElementId))
    {
        transaction.Start();

        //Create a note-block view schedule.
        noteBlockSchedule = ViewSchedule.CreateNoteBlock(doc, symbolId);
    }

    if (null != areaSchedule)
    {
        transaction.Commit();
    }
    else
    {
        transaction.RollBack();
    }
}

Copy VB.NET

Dim noteBlockSchedule As ViewSchedule = Nothing

Using transaction As New Transaction(doc, "Creating Note BLock")
    'Get first ElementId of a Note Block family.
    Dim noteblockFamilies As ICollection(Of ElementId) = ViewSchedule.GetValidFamiliesForNoteBlock(doc)
    Dim symbolId As ElementId = noteblockFamilies.First()

    If Not symbolId.Equals(ElementId.InvalidElementId) Then
        transaction.Start()

        'Create a note-block view schedule.
        noteBlockSchedule = ViewSchedule.CreateNoteBlock(doc, symbolId)
    End If

    If areaSchedule IsNot Nothing Then
        transaction.Commit()
