Creating / Editing family

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I try create new family from my command. But I don't now how it's made. I know that I need open template and edit it. But I don't know how to create lines, rectangles and text. Please give me a few samples.

I found how to add text to family from command

            Transaction trans2 = new Transaction(doc);
            trans2.Start("ChangeParam");
            UIDocument uiDoc = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument;
            Document doc = uiDoc.Document;
            View view = uiDoc.ActiveView;
            XYZ origin = XYZ.Zero;
            XYZ baseVec = XYZ.BasisX;
            XYZ upVec = XYZ.BasisZ;
            double textSize = 200;
            double lineWidth = 50;
            string strText = "Test";
            // Create the text
            TextNote text = doc.FamilyCreate.NewTextNote(view, origin,
              baseVec,
              upVec,
              lineWidth,
              TextAlignFlags.TEF_ALIGN_CENTER |
              TextAlignFlags.TEF_ALIGN_MIDDLE, strText);
            text.Width = 20; // set the width of the text
            trans2.Commit();

I'm looking for how to add lines and rectangles

Adding line to family

            using (Transaction trans = new Transaction(doc,"test"))
            {
                trans.Start();
                Line line = app.Application.Create.NewLineBound(new XYZ(0, 0, 0), new XYZ(10, 10, 0));
                doc.FamilyCreate.NewDetailCurve(doc.ActiveView, line);
                trans.Commit();
            }
