Use the Text Component Editor to format and define label text components. Text components can label specific features, such as plot area, name, and perimeter.
All text components are based on the AutoCAD text style that is defined on the General tab of the Label Style Composer.
Text components make use of dynamic label properties that you can assign in the Text Component Editor. Each object type has several properties you can use to build the label style components.

When you label a plot using the label style, the labels are generated based on the plot object’s properties. If the plot properties change, then the labels are updated dynamically.
There are two basic strategies you can use when adding text components to a label. If you want more precise control over the label’s appearance, you can either add several properties to one text component or define a separate component for each piece of text in the label.
You can add multiple properties to one text component.

Alternately, you can add a single property per text component, and define multiple text components.
