Point Styles Using Blocks with Attributes
Forget the attributes. Redefine the block with out them. Define the Point label style to replicate the attributes previously used

I agree with @Joe-Bouza. What you're being asked to do is like paddling upstream in the rapids. Trying to create a 'Point Style" that uses a Block attributes is something I don't believe is possible, could be wrong. You'd be working against the whole Point Style concept.
As Joe said. You can create a Point Style that looks like the old Blocks with Attributes. You can Create Blocks From COGO Points using AeccConvertPointsToSdskPoints. But those will just be Blocks. Not a Point Style.

You could include the Easting, Northing and Elevation set as Fields linked to a nested block objects insertion point.
These would not be visible in the Cogo but would be once the Cogo Point is exploded (twice) and the attributes are synchronised.
This could be helpful in sharing data elsewhere but no more than a Csv file which can be dumped from the point group without the agro and would include all relevant details.

The only objects that should be in the block are the objects that make up the symbol. You don't need to include the text objects for point #, elevation or description those are handled by the Point Label Style. Now I see with you block for the Electric Pull Box that you want to have a symbol for the pull box then a description for the box. Your symbol is 0.075 if you delete the text and set the Point Style to drawing scale and set the height to 0.075 it will scale correctly. Then you would have a Point Lable Style that would place the description next to the Point Style for EPB. Basically, you have a symbol a pull box and if you use that for all pull boxes then your description is all that changes. which means you have one block for electric, telephone traffic water etc....

Hi Ethan,
In Express Tools, use TXTEXP to explode the text into linework. Then re-save the block. Now the "text" will scale same as block.

If you just added the text for to the symbol you'll only need a single style for that... That text would be controlled by the field code. Which would be controlled by the description key. 1 point style 1 point label style. Both go to layer 0 and the description key places the block on the electric layer or the water layer or the telephone layer etc......
