--- Comment #5 from Regina Henschel <rb.henschel at t-online.de> ---
"Any" to "Any" is nonsense, you surely don't want to make a textbox to a
measure line. But some conversions might be useful and possible:

A
There a some custom-shapes, which exist as primitive drawing too, e.g a
rectangle. These shapes look equal but they have different characteristics in
regard to their text. So a conversion for and back would be useful for the user
to get different text features.

B
Most of the current custom-shapes are not of generic "non-primitive" type, but
they have a specific type e.g. "left-right-arrow". For them the entire geometry
(element <draw:enhanced-geometry>) is predefined and has nothing user-specific.
So it would be possible to exchange one geometry with another. From a user
point of view that would be a nice feature, e.g. exchange a five-point-star
with six-point-star. Thereby the size and position and the text is independent
from the geometry and can be kept. 

C
Custom shapes are based on curves. So a Bézier-curve could be converted to a
custom-shape with putting the path definition from the Bézier-curve into the
geometry of the custom-shape. It would be a very simple shape, without any
handles. Similar to A, the shapes would look the same, but the text properties
are different. Perhaps a first step, to get a UI to create own custom-shapes?

D
Convert a custom-shape to a Bézier-curve, so that the text in the custom-shape
is retains and is still editable as text. The current conversion turns the text
to a curve. A lot of custom-shapes have a simple geometry, that can be
expressed by a single Bézier-curve.
