GDL object related to zone

[Anonymous]

My fellow GDL gurus,
I need to develop a Room Tag that is separate from the Room Tag that comes with zone placement. I took the current "Room Identifier_NCS" GDL object in ArchiCAD 9 and tweaked it to allow me to place it on a separate layer and drag it between different rooms and have it still pick up the room name and number. The problem I am running into is that in some case our rooms are too small for the object to fit inside the room. I would like to be able to place the tag outside the room, and have some type of anchor that remains in the room. Can anyone help me understand what part of the object knows what zone it is in? I found that my object uses the center point.

See attached object:

Thanks,
Ben
