So you have a three quarter inch circle. Then draw a line from the right quadrant of the circle over some horizontal distance about like so. Don't worry about far it is exactly. It doesn't matter. Select both objects and type B enter to enter the block definition dialogue box. The first thing you need to do is give it a name. Call it View Label then pick a point for the base point. This should be a point right about here above and to the left of the circle. Choose convert to block and open in block editor, OK. The next thing we need to do is change the text styles.
