In the IDE, use the following code for the method:
public
void MyFirstMacroAppCS(){Autodesk.Revit.DB.XYZ
baseVec = Application.Create.NewXYZ(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);Autodesk.Revit.DB.XYZ
upVec = Application.Create.NewXYZ(0.0, 0.0, 1.0); Autodesk.Revit.DB.XYZ
origin = Application.Create.NewXYZ(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
Autodesk.Revit.DB.TextAlignFlags align
= Autodesk.Revit.DB.TextAlignFlags.TEF_ALIGN_LEFT | Autodesk.Revit.DB.TextAlignFlags.TEF_ALIGN_TOP;
string
strText = "My First Macro, App level, C#!"; double
lineWidth = 4.0 / 12.0;
Autodesk.Revit.DB.View
pView = ActiveUIDocument.Document.ActiveView;Autodesk.Revit.DB.Transaction
t = new Autodesk.Revit.DB.Transaction(ActiveUIDocument.Document, "NewTextNote");t.Start();ActiveUIDocument.Document.Create.NewTextNote(pView,
origin, baseVec, upVec, lineWidth, align, strText);
t.Commit();
}
Please note that because this application-level macro is written to modify a document, you must begin a transaction (t.Start();) and end the transaction (t.Commit();) for it to run properly.
In the example, the Revit.DB.Geometry.XYZ class is used to define a position (with X, Y, Z coordinates) for a text note that the macro will add the text box to the active view of the active document.
The macro placed text box
Tip: Be sure to build your project in the Revit macro IDE, before trying to run it from the Macro Manager.
