Custom Door/Window Marker

[Peter Koncz]

I was looking all over the web on how to customise 2D door/window markers. In Hong Kong, it has to be and extended Hexagon shape that fits the text. The text is made up of 3 segments:
Type Code (W/L/G) + Floor Number + ID, for example W001 means Window, O. Floor, 01 as ID.

First question: how do I modify the standard hexagon shape into an longer, extendable hexagon?

Guys, I have created this simple door marker, but I cannot get the text size defined… It stays the default 500mm.

Finally I have figured out and able to set model size and paper size using SET STYLE, DEFINE STYLE and TEXT2 commands.

I have uploaded the GSM files, you can take a look, if you have time. Thanks,

BTW, I have also created 2D symbols for the user to comply with Hong Kong standards.

Can you help me how to add a fill to the rectangle symbol?
