Could you elaborate on this idea please? I don’t understand. From what you’ve written and asking for this is currently possible. You can import any image - png, svg, jpg. And then you can put text using the text tool anywhere you want near it, on it, align it, all without it grouping. I feel like I am missing something.

Correct you can do both separately but now If I move 1 I then have to move both. Today I can group the text with the image or icon but they are still separate.

I want it to act like a shape. For example, If I grab any of the cisco shapes, the text comes with it and I don’t need to make text for it. The spacing is always the same etc. 

If I import any image, it already comes with the file name, I just want it to put the text on it for me to eliminate a lot of extra touches. 

@jgoetschel could you maybe give an example in any other drawing, graphics, flowchart or whiteboard tool that you have seen this? Sorry I am really not understanding what you mean. I don’t get the connection between the image, it’s filename and “putting text on it”

Or maybe you could try and illustrate it visually?

@BurtyC The Reason for the FILE NAME is so when the Icon on the Left if dropped in, the TEXT of the File name would be Married / Grouped / Grounded to the image like the shape on the right. Again the reason for the FILE Name is because I can then drop 20 Icons in all at once and it would all be named and ready to be used. TODAY I would have to label each one separately and then deal with the Grouping issues. 

​@jgoetschel I was struggling with the same issue but think i might have just found a solution. I had previously been dragging my custom icons onto my board and had to manually add a text box and then group the icon and text together. But i have found that if i instead open the Diagraming toolbar and then click on the Add Shape button under My Shapes, my icon is imported and i get the option to add text to it like all the other diagraming shapes. Hope this helps to solve your issue.
