Force Attribute Position to Remain Fixed in Drawing when Moving Block Position

$

Hello,

 

Is it possible to setup a block so that an attribute position remanes fixed (absolute to drawing) when moving the block?

 

I've been playing around with creating a Coordinate Block by following these instructions: http://www.cad-notes.com/2009/11/how-to-label-coordinate-in-autocad/

 

What I would like is to be able to set the position of the Coordinate Label and Coordinate Object independently, so that if I move one in the drawing, it doesn't move the other.  I've looked into Dynamic Blocks, and the "Lock Position" parameter. I can move the attribute independently, but still everytime I move the block, the attribute moves too.

 

Our company uses a custom Sheet/Coordinate system to follow flyoffs across a drawing, and I'm trying to learn how to automate the process.  It's completely manually right now, so any changes to a drawing creates a lot of work renumbering these flyoffs.

 

Thanks for your help! I'm pretty new to AutoCAD and still trying to get comfortable with it.
