That way, I can insert all the blocks I need at once by using a script, which is an easier way for me since I'm more familiar with it. I see with your suggestion you intended to make the second modification I wanted, but it didn't seem to work.
see if it works

;| PUT.LSP ver. 2.0 (c) 2005 Tee Square Graphics
Improved version of PUT.LSP originally published in 1998. This
version avoids the use of the native MEASURE command, using instead
the curve functions of Visual LISP (VLISP).
PUT places a single block insertion a user-specified distance from
the selected end of a non-closed AutoCAD object (i.e., ARC, LINE,
POLYLINE, LWPOLYLINE, SPLINE).
