1. Work through the getting started material:

2. Install and use RevitLookup:

https://github.com/jeremytammik/RevitLookup

3. Set up the textbox by hand the way it is initially. Explore its propoerties and parameters with RevitLookup. Modify it manually to be the way you would like. Explore it with RevitLookup again and note the differences.

4. Start exploring how to programmatically achieve the same differences.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Actually, it is quite easy to do in Revit 2016. Two of the four TextNote.Create method take a width that determines the with of the new Text note. The other two methods do not take a width, which will cause the the created text note grow with the text length. Height of a text note is never specified explicitly - it is always calculated from the text content of a text note - in other words, the height is always set to fit the text.

It looks as if your add-in manifest is not pointing at the correct DLL location.

Please do work thorugh the getting started material and all will become clear.
