Hi @sonicer ,

1)start the transaction

2)Select the element

3)

ElementId eid;
IList<ElementId> eids=doc.Delete(eid) as IList<ElementId>;

4)roll back the transaction

5)

ElementId catgeoryID = null;
foreach(ElementId id in eids)
       {
         Element e1 = doc.GetElement(id);
          if(e1.Category.Name.Contains("Tag"))
             {
               catgeoryID = e1.Category.Id;
             }
         }

ElementCategoryFilter ECF = new ElementCategoryFilter(catgeoryID);

//contains all the tag types of selected element
FilteredElementCollector tagcollector = new FilteredElementCollector(doc).WherePasses(ECF).WhereElementIsElementType() as FilteredElementCollector;

 I hope this helps.

Your code is find all tags linked to element.

But I need get all Tag types list. Not tag family instance created in project.

Hi @sonicer 

1)select the element

2)this below code will list the tag types for the selected element

suppose if a wall element is selected this code will return the wall tag types.

Element e;
                Category C = e.Category;

                string categoryName = C.Name.Remove(C.Name.Length - 1, 1);
                string categoryTagName = categoryName + " " + "Tag";

                FilteredElementCollector coll = new FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(typeof(Family));
                foreach(Element e1 in coll)
                {
                   Family f = e1 as Family;
                   if(e1.Name.Contains(categoryTagName))
                   {
                        //contains tag types for selected element
                        ISet<ElementId> famSymIds = f.GetFamilySymbolIds() as ISet<ElementId>;
                   } 
                }

I hope this helps.
