Hello everyone i have been learning how to make these attached blocks rotate

This will take you into a whole new area of exploration but...

 

you want to create your block using attributes in place of text. Once you have your blocks inserted into the working drawing you can individually rotate and position the text value with the ATTEDIT command.

If you're rotating the blocks using the dynamic block rotation parameter, when you're done rotating you can grip edit the text to move it where you want.

Go to block editor, edit the properties of the attributes, under misc>lock position>yes

exit block editor then use attsync on the block to update it
