Hello to all. This is my first post. I am having Problem with creating text note to Draft view from Excel. I have managed to extract data from Excel and write it to Draft view, but all element of list are written on same place, overlaping each other.  
What am i doing wrong?

Hello

The node TextNote.ByStringAndPosition needs a point for each text Ithink.  
Try to create a list of point (corresponding to the position of each text) and connect it to the node.

TextNote.ByStringAndPosition will quite likely be deprecated in the next release of Clockwork. Please try using the new OOTB node TextNote.ByLocation. It has a bug if Revit’s language is set to German ([https://github.com/DynamoDS/DynamoRevit/issues/1664](https://github.com/DynamoDS/DynamoRevit/issues/1664)), but works fine in English.
