Insert a variable into a custom made 2D GDL object

Anonymous

Hi all,

I'm very new to GDL modelling so this is (I would imagine) a basic question. I have created a 2D object which consists of a circle and in the middle of the circle is a number. I would like the user to be able to define the number through the parametric settings but I don't know how to adjust the Archicad Generated GDL script to insert my variable. Currently all i'm getting is the name of the variable (number) but I would like the value to be shown. Below is my script and attached is a screen shot of my object settings. Any help in this would be fantastic!

Thanks

Try to use this nice object " Hotspot Switch.gsm" from Olivier Dentan.
You can enter numbers and letters in the circle.
If you open it, you can learn about GDL programming.
