Title: Can you Include Object Variables in Fields?

Let's say I want to include the insertion point or the scaling factor of a block in a field. . . can that be done?

In 2005 you use fields, not rtext(?).  Here's all I could find:

Use object rather than namedobject then select the entity you want to use.

I see - you have to select the object BEFORE the properties show up (of course!).  Thanks
