The ID field may be hidden or toward the bottom (or right) of the info box. Check your work environment settings. The ID should work in most parts of this type.I checked the work environment settings, and although I found out a new way to customize the info box, it's not there. Actually, the ID field is not even in the Label settings dialog.
If you feel slightly adventurous this is a very easy symbol to script. The key bit is:Although I have almost no idea on how to write a GDL script, what I did do is compare "Shape Label JM9.gsm" and "Shape Tag JM9.gsm" side by side. The label object does not have the ID field to control the value of the text, whereas the tag object does. As far as I could tell, the two objects have identical code lines and seems identical in all aspects, except for the "subtype" designation. I even tried saving the Tag object as a label object after changing this subtype, and the ID field disappears. Therefore, I'm suspecting that this "subtype" has something to do with it, but can't quite figure it out...
Code:
Text2 0, 0, GLOB_ID
You will also need DEFINE STYLE and SET STYLE statements. The box can be a simple Rect2 or Circle2. Other polygons are a bit trickier (as far as the maths go). The leader can also be tricky if you want something fancy, but once you've got the first bit you should be able to figure it out.
Do most people just open up the settings dialog each time to change the keynote value? I guess the other alternative is to use the tag object and have a separate leader for each note - which may not be a bad idea since I also couldn't find any keynote label that let me have the leader end up at the bottom or top of the symbol (useful for elevations or sections where you have keynotes at the top and bottom of the drawing).
