Don't use "explode Blocks into" ;) Then you will get the insert points of the block and all the information to the point (from the block featuer)

Have you tried using the TextPropertyExtractor. With this transformer you can extract the text and store it as an attribute.

It's not working perfectly, I want to extract Blocks from CAD as Points with their attribute at the beginning.
