Coordinates inside a block that will update based on block locations.

[sandeepEZQ5X]

Is there a way to have coordinates for certain points inside a block and have them update based on different block locations used in a drawing?

Explain more on "certain points inside a block" please?
And are you using plain AutoCAD (topic of this forum), or Civil3D or MAP3D?

The attached Return Example.dwdg is based on the following tutorial:

Instead of calling the Block "COORDBLOCK", I'm calling it "Return"

The Return Block contains an Attribute that has a Field set to the Block's Position = insertion point

So when you Insert the Return Block the Attribute is automatically updated to match with the coordinates where you inserted the Block. Also the Attribute Field will update (after a Regen) when you Move/Copy the Return Block.

I have a block with points inside that i need the coordinates of. .

I will be using this block in multiple locations in my drawing. I need the X,Y coordinates of the points for all the locations the block is placed. It'll be a bonus if these coordinates can be extracted into excel along with the block number.

Would it be possible to do this for multiple points inside a block?

Not using this example since the Field for BlockPlaceholder only recognizes the following properties (like Position) inside a Block:
