• Divide the line for the text into columns.
• For rows take offset of 5,10,5,5,8,30,15,15,20,20,10,15mm.
• By multiline text,type rev,description,by date,date on the first row by text height 2.5 and style as Times New Roman.
• Again use mutiline text and type the required text in caps with text height 1.5 and style as Times New Roman.
• Now create the block using block command give the name as Custom 1_title block-select pick point and selecta point in the table-select the object-select the whole table including the text.
• Select convert to block option and give scale uniformly and tick allow exploding.

b) Custom 2_title block

• Draw a rectangle of 252 and 46mm.
• With lines divide the required rows and columns.
• Using multiline text insert the following height 2.5.
• Create 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.
• Create attributes similarly for the rest of the text.
• Now create the block using block command with name Custom 2_title block,select the whole titleblock and make it as a block.
• After creating it as block we can see that all attributes will change to their default values.

Result:

• Custom l_title block and Custom 2_title block are created
