Customising an object: Insert Autotext to automaticlly use ID as text

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a custom object based on Archicad's 'Signal Thermastat 21' Object.
Here's what I'd like to do:
1. I'd like the 'text' to automatically be the 'ID'. Is there a way to use auto text in this situation?
See pic attached.

2. I'd like to change the circle to a rectangle that I can resize with hotspots and numeric input.

Thanks in advanced!

Peter, I have opened a new thread, perhaps you could expand on your suggestion. Thanks.
