How to format SpotCoordinates

Hi

I was able to create spot coordinates from revit.modelLines but Im having issues trying to format the tags. It seems as if the tag_origin is completely unresponsive to the values that are being set and therefore, the tags are all piled up and they would have to be manually moved. Is there any way I could set the spacing between tags ?

Any suggestion would be kindly appreciated

Thanks

def create_spot_coordinates():
	create_lines()
	selection2=FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_Lines).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()
	
	delete_prev_spot_coords()
	TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
	for z in selection2:
		x_cord=z.ToDSType(False).Geometry()[0].EndPoint.X
		y_cord=z.ToDSType(False).Geometry()[0].EndPoint.Y
		elements_ref=ReferenceArray()
		for i in z.get_Geometry(opt):
			if isinstance(i,Line):
				gline=i
				elements_ref.Append(gline.Reference)
						
			tag_origin=XYZ(x_cord-5000,y_cord-5000,0)
			tag_bend=XYZ(x_cord-5,y_cord+1,0)
			tag_end=XYZ(x_cord,y_cord,0)
			ref_pt=XYZ(x_cord,y_cord,0)
			
			new_spot=doc.Create.NewSpotCoordinate(doc.ActiveView,elements_ref[0],tag_origin,tag_bend,tag_end,ref_pt,True)
			spot_coordinates.append(new_spot)
			
	TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

Revit.Geometry.Conversion seems to not work properly to convert feet to meters between dynamo and revit. I managed to fix this by multiplying spot coordinates xyz arguments by 1m/1ft(m) and this seemed to somehow resolved the formatting problem.
