Is it possible to get autocad block attribute from link CAD?

I use code from here . 

I get original , geometry and rotation, but I can not get attribute.

You should be able to determine this yourself using the element lister and RevitLookup:

List all BIM elements, add the block, list the BIM elements again, determine the newly added objects, and explore them and their properties using RevitLookup.

I stand corrected... I read the existing thread on getting to text objects within an imported DWG:

It was pointed out by Matt in the thread on getting attributes from import CAD block:

It explains that there is no direct access to text entities or attributes contained in the DWG file.

Workarounds:

• Explode the DWG to create TextNote elements
• Export the DWG to DXF and parse the resulting text file for the required data
• Use the AutoCAD.NET API to read directly from the DWG
