I would like to know how to assign a composite to a ID so i don't have to enter a ID every time.

Changed the title to be more appropriate since "Help me…" is usually ignored.

I don't understand your question. Composites do not have IDs, elements have IDs. Building Materials that make up a composite have IDs.

When you say "ID", do you mean the Index Number of the Composite that you can see in the Attribute Manager?

If you want to assign the same ID to a composite, you can use favourites to set it.
You will have to turn off the option to "Assign new element ID to each new element" in the Work Environment > User Preference Schemes > More Options.
Otherwise your ID will increase by one each time.

Or don't use numbers in the ID and it should stay the same.
