This video will show you how to create an AutoCAD dynamic block for floor structure labels. It will include a dropdown list of floor joist descriptions that you can pick to enter into the attribute value of the block. The attribute label can be broken up into multiple lines, based on the user's preference. The span direction arrow can be adjusted with a single grip.
