• Custom 1_ title block
• Custom 2_ title block

Procedure:

Custom 1 tittle block:

• Create a rectangle of size 66.63mm and 158mm
• Divide it with  line for the text box into columns
• For rows, take offset of 5,10,5,5,8,30,15,20,20,10,15 mm.
• By multiline text, type rev, description, by ,date on the first row by  text height 2.5 and style - Times New Roman.
• As it is  repeated in the other two rows, take array given column as 1, rows as 3, spacing between rows as 7.
• Again, use multiline text and type  the required text in caps with text  heigth 1.5 and style as Times New Romans.

    Creating block:

    Command " B" -block definition dialogue box appears - give name as "Custom1_ title block" - select pick point and select a point in the table - select  the object - select the whole table including the text. Given scale uniformly and tick allow exploding. Select convert to block option.

 

As we have  selected retain the object it will be retain and same as the actual drawing and a block goto insert select  the object and insert it.

 

Custom 2 title block:

Draw rectangle of  252 and 46mm with lines divide the to the required rows and columns.

With the use of multiline text insert the following : height 2.5. 

Creating a small rectangle  at the right corner ,explode it , create rows and columns.

By attributes, create the text inside it .Command "ATT"-attribute definition dialogue box appears.

Insert the tag we are giving ,visible before creating  the block.

Prompt : Question we need to enter 

Default: the value shown in drawing after making it as a block.

For e.g: in the first - row 1st column "C" is the text to be displayed. 

Command "ATT"

 

 

Place the tag line on the place we need to hear 1st row 1st column of the box created. create attributes similary for the rest of the text. The attributes created are:

 

Now create a block command B with name custom2 _ title block.select the whole title block and make as a block .After creating it as a block we can see that all attributes will change to their default values.

 

 

Result:

1. The cutom_1 title block is created:
