GH: How to bake Block Instances with python Script?

@RIL wrote:

I made a script that sucessfully bakes Breps, but when I try using the same script to bake Block instances (geometry) it fails. Why does it fail, and what code to use to properly "bake" Block instances?

This code fails for blocks but works fine for Breps :

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import scriptcontext as sc
import Rhino

# Set Name and Bake GH objects.

if active:
    if G:
        i = StartIx
        for obj in G:

            # Script context = Grasshopper
            sc.doc = ghdoc

            # Get the geometry info for later baking
            dobj = rs.coercerhinoobject(obj)
            geom = dobj.Geometry
            attribs = dobj.Attributes

            # Script context = RhinoCAD
            sc.doc = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc


            # "BAKE" (sort of)
            new_ref = sc.doc.Objects.Add(geom, attribs)

            # NAME
            new_name = BaseName + "_" + str(i)
            rs.ObjectName(new_ref, new_name)
            i += 1

            # LAYER
            rs.ObjectLayer(new_ref, LayerName)

        out = G
