Within AutoCAD Electrical you can assign panel components with nameplates. A nameplate is inserted into the drawing as a block. It can either be referenced to an existing component footprint block or inserted as a stand-alone nameplate. When tied to a component footprint, the component footprint is the parent, and the nameplate is a child of that parent. Several generic, rectangular nameplates with stretchable boundaries are provided. Three generic nameplates are shown on the panel icon menu nameplates page, but you can obviously create your own. However, a dynamic block is maintained as a block and allows greater flexibility over the standard out-of-the-box variants. Further information on creating a stretchable dynamic block can be found: Create a Stretchable Dynamic Block
The following video shows you how you can use Dynamic Authoring to create a stretchable block which could be done in increments or by list as well.
