Insert a block with multiple clicks (2 insertion points)

Hi all,

Is it possible to insert a block with multiple insertion points? In my case the block looks like a leader, I want to click on the insertion point, and then click again where I want to place the text (attributes). 

It's like the adaptive points Revit I use sometimes, or another example would be a triangle when you have 3 insertion points and create a triangle based on those points.

When I google on this, I get all options with multple insertion points, but those are just options to cycle trough; you can choose between those, but only select one.

 

Thanks,

I'm not sure if it's possible with lisp. However, if you add point moves to locked attributes you can move them. See the attached drawing for an example

Thanks for the effort, but this block also has just 1 insertion point. I need to place the block with default settings, and then move the text with another action. I already have that covered with a stretch parameter, so there can be more stuff moved in the same action.

I like the idea of moving the attibutes with the Point parameter, but isn't that te same as setting them as unlocked?

No. It's a bit of a weird one, I'm not sure why. If you set them as "unlocked" they cannot be moved. Give it a go on that block I posted.

Yeah, I tried it already, first thing I did. But as I said, I can only place it (with 1 mouseclick), After that I can grab a text (attribute) and move it around, but not while inserting it.

Last effort, any suggestions?
