    how can I set the insertion point when inserting a block into a drawing.
    I am not talking about the insertion coordinate of host drawing, but the
    point in the block, which could be used as reference for insertion.

    When you create a block, you select its reference insertion point. Afterwards, if you find that point is unacceptable, you can insert the block, explode it, and redefine the block and its reference insertion point. If the block was located in an external drawing, you may have to WBLOCK it to overwrite the original.

    Duh, programmatically, you might try messing around with the Origin property of the Block object. Just be sure not confuse a Block object with a BlockRef object.
