	Entities of an inserted block are offset against their original position.
	Coordinates of the block (or xref) insertion point may be other than 0,0,0. The position of the reference point for block insertion is defined (in the block) by the `INSBASE` variable or by the `_BASE` command. Check also whether the block is inserted (in the target drawing) to the world UCS, to proper space and to coordinates 0,0,0.
