I searched and found a trick to get the uname of a page....

Is there an equivalent trick to find the uname of a shape? I'm trying to make a master, and refer some text to a rectangle, but this is driving me crazy.
If I create a brand new clean file and make a master as an experiment, and use this formula for PinX - it works perfectly:
=Rectangle!PinX-Rectangle!Width*0.5+1.2
However if I try and do it on the sheet I'm trying to modify (inherited), then editing the master - I can see the name of the rectangle is:
filename:Stencil:Person:Rectangle
But when I modify the text's PinX to be =Rectangle!PinX-Rectangle!Width*0.5+1.2
All I get is: "Error in formula"
I do with Visio would be more verbose with its errors. I don't really know why this is happening, but name / uname is something I'd like to eliminate
