Insert Block to COGO points
Do you have CIV3d point styles, descriptor keys sets all ready ? Like John you will be going nowhere without them. You should have got a DWT from your CAD dealer with at least something set up. Ours has like 250 keys so mail would be one of them.
Looking at image can see trees, Light pole, telepit to right hydrant and water valve, all auto inserted.
I do have a make descriptor keys sets from excel as its not an option in CIV3D, can export but not import.

i have a topo im working on and it has tons of mailboxes and im looking for a lisp that will insert a block to each one if possible. and im hoping to be able to modify the lisp for other blocks such as utility poles and what not. they are Civil object points and the raw description is what i would need incorporated into the lisp

You see the COGO points in Land Desktop as "AECC_COGO_POINT" entity?
If yes try the attached lisp
Command: InsBlocks
Select objects ( user select objects )
Prompts the user for block name to insert onto the cogo point location
Prompts the user for raw description to process
The current settings will replace the cogo point, IF you dont want that settings revmvoe this line on the attached lisp file.
;; Remove this Line if you want to keep the cogo point ;;
(vla-delete (Cadr rdname))

when i used the command it asks to select objects. im not sure what to select so i tried multiple things ie; blocks, lines, points, exploded blocks, and even the whole drawing. the result always said "0 objects found" so im not sure what im doing wrong. none of the dialog boxes popped up.

Like @john.uhden I should've read the first post.
-- they are Civil object points and the raw description is what i would need incorporated into the lisp-
What caught my eye was the image at post #1. Thinking the if OP can see the "Points Group Manager" or its equivalent in LDT, the AECC_COGO_POINT objects and its data should be exposed thru VLisp API.
Knowing that now, @JohnC_ISM What do you see in LDT? what type of object? can you post a sample drawing? Leave a couple of "points" on the file to test.

see if this works
As I I can only access this with C3D and Autocad
When you list the objects using LIST command, what do you see on LDT?
ACAD_PROXY_ENTITY or AECC_POINT?

were available in LDT are lobotomized in C3D...
That cant be good 🤔
I guess you're right, regardless if its AECC_POINT or ACAD_PROXY_ENTITY, if it doesnt include the essential information then its no good, Best we can do is use what we have, perhaps exploding the object and replace it with a block using the lines as the point and the text as the raw description. But its not an ideal solution.
