How to convert the procedure of component legend in Revit to Revit API ?

[AD8080202]

Hi~

In Revit, the step of creating component legend is:

Annotation> Component>Legend Component>Pick a Family> Place the component> Select View when
necessary

But our project has over 300 hundred kinds of doors and windows.
To create the legend sheets of all the doors and windows,
it will take me enormous amount of time repeating the above procedure.
So I am trying to do it in Revit API.

What the Revit API will be?

If your convenience please enlighten ~
Thank you!

I have never looked at this feature since Revit 2012, but back then you couldn't place a legend component throught the api. Our workaround was to for instance place a window component in front and top view. These components could be copied and changed by the API. That worked for us.

But again, we are in Revit 2017 now, so maybe the possibility with legends in the API have been expanded and improved.
