Remarks

You cannot directly create an attribute reference. Attribute references are added to the drawing when a block containing an attribute definition is inserted into the drawing. To access an attribute reference of an inserted block, use the GetAttributes method. This method returns an array of all attribute references attached to the inserted block.
