Custom Eidolon Tutorial

Hey all,

I'm trying to make an Engineer class but I'm having problems with Automaton companion.
1. I've tried using Animal Companion with middling success but they don't have the Racial Custom Ability options.
2. Tried creating my own custom Eidolon thingy but I can't get the class to be treated as an Eidolon in respect to "Pick your Eidolon" button appearing and other eidolon things not attaching
3. Tried using an eidolon of a construct+clockwork type, but then I have all the standard eidolon race custom abilities that I don't want (Natural Attacks Allowed, etc.) & if I try *hidden any of those, the whole build breaks.

Is there a tutorial out there somewhere of "How to Build an Eidolon that isn't an Eidolon?"
 
I don't know how exactly an Automaton differs from the Eidolon, but it sounds different enough that you'd want to create new Companion Type and it's linked Companion Class Helper. Those are options under the "General" group of tabs in the editor, you can make a copy of existing ones to see how they work. Particularly might want to check out the Construct Rider from Cohorts and Companions, as that seems similar (it is a constructization of an animal companion).
