Hi Michael!
When using Layout.add_auto_blockref() the blockref to 'name' with its associated attributs are
wrapped into an anonymous block, so I do not have to rotate and stretch the attributes by myself,
it's done by the CAD program.
Disadvantage of this method is, if you want to edit the attributes you have to EXPLODE
the outer anonymous block in AutoCAD.
If you want to evaluate this blockrefs by ezdxf see by blocks tutorial, section "Evaluate wrapped block reference":
