The jig works but you cannot see it because your block only contains attributes and you do not update their positions during the drag.
You cannot see any result because you do not commit the transaction.

Hi _gile,
Thanks for your help again, your code has ahieved my goal which the bock reference will show on the screen follow the cursor dynamicly, but I found three problems that need to improve, it's difficult to solve them by myslef. The Jig class is friend to user, but not to me : (
The first question, if press ESC when the command is executed, it need to cancel the insert operation, rather than the block reference is still inserted into the mouse's current point.
The second problem, I do not want to display two block reference, I mean, there is a redundant block reference shows at the origin when the code executeing, I just only need to keep the one that follow the cursor dynamicly.
The third problem, it's too much trouble, in fact, my program maybe insert more than one BOM1 block reference and their contents is not the same, the function that I would like to achieve is to execute the command, and then ask the user to enter the insertion point, there are some block references, they may be one or more than one, the way they appear is from top to bottom, and they will show on the screen follow the cursor dynamicly, they will be inserted into the drawing together after enter the insertion point.
I feel the dynamic effects are consistent with move or copy multiple graphics objects. This idea is very simple, but I think a lot of places in the code needs to be modified, even I do not know how to modify.
The way they will show one the screen as follow:
I actually found Jig class is really troublesome, it just makes the command more user-friendly, but does not change the actual function. And the only thing I can do is keep asking and learning.
Best wishes to you

If you're not comfortable with jigs, you can drag a selection set.
1. you have to manage the PromptPointResult.Status (if not OK, erase the block reference.
2. I don't know why the block reference still displays at origin during dragging (this doesn't happen if you import the block definiton rather than the block reference as I recommand you in another thread)
3. dragging a selection set as shown below allows to easily drag multiple entities.

Hi _gile,
Very thanks, you are an amazing person, too much powerful.
According to your code, I do some modify, the program has realized the main function, now only two issues need to be solved, then it will be finished!
The first problem is, I try to make the program dynamically displays two block reference and select one insertion point only once in the test code, but now they are re-posted displayed. My goal is two block reference from top to bottom with their Y coordinate difference 4 during running time and result.
Since I do not understand your lambda expressions and I rarely use lambda expressions, I do not know how to modify, maybe you can get it done, well, some trouble for you
The second problem is, I found that once I reassigned the original TextSting of the AttributeReference, then the TextSting won't display as original alignment style during running time, but the result will be correct, it's weird.

Thank you as always.
If you're not comfortable with anonymous functions or lambda expression you can define a private method and pass it as delegate to the Editor.Drag() method.
private SamplerStatus Callback(Point3d pt, ref Matrix3d xform)
{
if (pt.IsEqualTo(Point3d.Origin))
return SamplerStatus.NoChange;
xform = Matrix3d.Displacement(Point3d.Origin.GetVectorTo(pt));
return SamplerStatus.OK;
}
But this suppose your base point is Point3d.Origin or you'd have to use a private field to pass the base point to the private method.
This is one intererst of creating a DragCallback instance (with an anonymous or lambda function) within the method the block is inserted, in other words, within the insertion point scope.
Anyway, this has nothing to do with you issues.
First, if you don't want the two block reference overlap, don't insert them at the same point (Point3d.Origin) an then, use one of these insertion point as base point for the drag callback function.
Second, if you want the attributes alignment dispaly during dragging, you need to use a jig (more complex but more powerfull) as shown in the BlockAttributeJig example.
