Gumball in wrong place on creation of a linked block

I see this here…

  1. Make a box.
  2. Move it so that one corner is off some distance from the origin, say at 100,100, 0
  3. Block it, set the base point at this corner.
  4. Select the instance and Export.
    5.BlockManager> Select the block and in its Properties, Link it to the exported file.
  5. Update the block in BlockManager.

The instance moves a further 100,100, 0 away units and the insertion point is at 100,100,0

Nick, you should export the block from BlockManager- what is happening in your case is that you end up linking a block to a file that contains a block instance of a box, and not a file that contains just a box.
