Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
document	Document	The document to which the tag will be added.
symId	ElementId	The id for the FamilySymbol which determines the tag's type.
ownerDBViewId	ElementId	The view in which the tag will be visible.
referenceToTag	Reference	The host reference of the tag. The reference can be to an element or subelement in a local or linked document.
addLeader	Boolean	When true, the tag will be created with a straight leader with an attached end.
tagOrientation	TagOrientation	The orientation of the tag's head.
pnt	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
