My point was not intent to link the shape, but rather than ComponentID it can be word TEXT. The point was to show up the TEXT TRANSFORM section in the shapesheet. But I’m glad you are getting in.
My previous post is for a direct shape-text (the text of a simple shape = one single entity) which is the result of sample A.

Even the actual result you are getting is the sample B. But you are getting there!

If you add a line to the shape you need to reference the TxtAngle value (from TEXT TRANSFORM section) of the Text to the TxtAngle of the whole shape. Adding one or more entities (objects) will require grouping them, and then handling the group as one single entity. After grouping follow the steps to add the TEXT TRANFORM section (for the group) and set the TxtAngle as –Angle, then do the same for the TEXT (ComponentID) entity (single text) and set the TxtAngle value as Sheet.5!TxtAngle (the number 5 can be different and you can find the right number at the top of your text entity shapesheet “shape transform” section). As a result see sample C.

Here are the steps in a clear and easy way that I mention on my last post.

1. Set to Edit Stencil
2. Right click > New Master… and enter the name of the shape
3. Right click on your new custom shape > Edit Master > Edit Master Shape
4. Draw a shape (square and few lines) and add a text (type TEXT)
5. Select all and group them
6. Right click on shape (group) > show shapesheet
7. Right click on a header section > Insert Section… and check TEXT TRANSFORM section box
8. Scroll down to Text Transform and set the TxtAngle value to –Angle
9. Close the Shapesheet
10. From the main menu go to Edit > Open Group
11. Right click on the TEXT shape and click show shapesheet
12. Right click on a header section > Insert Section… and check TEXT TRANSFORM section box
13. Scroll down to Text Transform and set the TxtAngle value to Sheet.7!TxtAngle (the number 7 can be find in one of the values of the Shape Transform section)
14. Close the Shapesheet and close the Group
15. Close the edit master shape, and then click YES to save it
16. Drag and drop the custom shape onto the drawing area and rotate it from the top handle.

Note: Whatever you add to the group becomes a child of the group. In this case the TEXT is a child of the group and needs to reference its own TxtAngle as the group’s TxtAngle.
