Tool to create generic annotations in drafting views of type based on name

Version 2.05 Working

• Gets all gen anos in project
• gets drafting view corresponding to the family name of the gen anno
• gets the types
• Creates the types in the drafting view to use as a reference for schedule manipulaiton

Adding types after run:

Family NEW added- Re-run:

Need to resolve SORT... NEW should come after numbers!

Update includes moving exsinting (sorted) annotations  to their exact spot in the list:
