Room Name object

Jere
Expert
Hi. Attached is a image of the formatting we use for our room names. We use the top one with rooms that have short names and the bottom one when we need two lines. It's just text and lines grouped together. I know it's not an efficient way of doing things, but we like how it looks. I know next to nothing about GDL, so hopefully you can help.

Would it be simple to make this an object where I can just type the room names in and if it needs to go to a 2nd line that the line separating the room name and number would automatically change size?

I've just started using zones, so maybe in the future it can be part of a zone stamp or maybe even just take the info from a zone? But ignoring that for now, any advice on how to make this object?

Many thanks.

"Simple" if you're familiar with GDL; could be painful if you aren't. If you're curious enough, I suggest opening an existing Zone object and studying the 2D script (that's how I learned). Or perhaps someone with some extra time will be kind enough to guide you...
