Just a comment as your using fit for the plot you could do any size like A3 also, only issue is the plot is not near true size when hard plotted, yes I know "Do Not Scale Drawing. But that is why I suggested using a layout.

Again if you try that way you will make life so much easier for your self. Your autoplot will work every time and be at scale. Stuff like plot multiple layouts I have done 88 in one go. 

You want multiple title blocks again have a look at your dwg 3a in post 15.

Do I have plot all title blocks in model space answer is yes but with odd UCS will not work.

Currently there is only one title block in the drawing. But in future there may be multiple title block in the single drawing.

Ok, we will deal with mulitple title blocks later.

I guess it's one of those blocks...

Could only be this line

(setq e (ssname ss inc)
    bn (strcase  (getpropertyValue e "BlockTableRecord/Name")))

Change it to ...

(setq e (vlax-ename->vla-object  (ssname ss inc))
    bn (strcase
	 (if (vlax-property-available-p e 'effectivename)
    		(vla-get-effectivename e)
    		(vla-get-name e))))
...
(setq pts (ucs-bbox e))
...

Thank you very much it is working fine.

Whenever you have time, update the code for plotting multiple title block in a single drawing.

Can you test this version?

In my aCad, thanks for RonJOnp, the code work great.

;;you only add optional MultpiBlocks
