Hello all, I am trying to tag specialty equipment in a particular view after placing it. I have tried almost all of the tag nodes (all otb and 2-3 from various packages). Each of the nodes place tags at the origin of the project. I found a bunch of working examples for other categories so I tagged all of the doors in the view and they are working fine. In the first image below you can see a bunch of leader lines running from the center. If you look at the doors though you will see they are tagged appropriately. Any Ideas? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/9/b/9b318719813e25240c65037205e12d4b507285b5.png) ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/2/c/2c80cc64c2205215648fba47bdadc57803cec926.png) [Place Sign and Tage them.dyn](https://forum.dynamobim.com/uploads/short-url/jroeaz96qIIUdYbibCc012Pzz5b.dyn) (582.3 KB) Link to sample rvt file [https://nbbj.sharefile.com/d-se52e1c879f1422f8](https://nbbj.sharefile.com/d-se52e1c879f1422f8) ---

I found _Creat Independent Tag_ from GeniusLoci’s package (its an updated version of archilab’s _Creat Annotation Tag_). As you can see in the image below I was able to get the tags to place in the correct location however, they do not have leaders. I edited the code to turn on leaders and all of the tags are again placed at the origin (see image 2). Does anyone know if you can turn on a leader after the tag has been placed? I cannot find it in the API. I was only able to find _[HasLeader Property](https://www.revitapidocs.com/2019/ce3fe3a9-4048-3b29-4dcb-57ca86de4267.htm)_ (Whether the tag has a leader or not.) Since my OP I have tried other categories (in addition to doors) and they are all working fine. This behavior seems to be isolated to specialty equipment.

After sleeping on it and beating my head agaienst a wall I added a _Transaction.End_ after the elements are created (_Springs.HostedInstance.ByPoints_) and it is now working. I guess there was just a hang up in the transactions. ---

Hi @Steven! Could you share some ideas on how you modified the 'Create.Independent Tag" node to create you leaders as well? I’m not a coder myself so if you can share your modification script, i’d appreciate it. Check out my recent post related to the same kind of trouble > [@Can we add Leaders/Arrows to the already tagged elements?](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/can-we-add-leaders-arrows-to-the-already-tagged-elements/41318): > > Hi ppl, I’d first like to thank the entire community for being so responsive and helpful. This community has truly helped me grow and learn new things in Revit with the power of Dynamo. Coming to my question, I’m trying to put tags on elements of an assembly. These tags are nothing but keys. I’m successful in putting tags on all the elements. Now i’m looking to add “Leaders” to the tags and spread them out nice and clean. Here’s how it looks right now And here’s how i’m hoping to ac… ---

Hi @ppokharna, I did not change any of the code. After I placed/created the new elements I added a Noded called _Transaction.End_. This node will stop all Revit Transactions before starting the next portion of the script. Sometimes Revit just moves too fast for its own good.
