    I'm trying to get a piece of text to appear on the insertion point of a 3D model regardless of where it is being viewed from. I'd like the text to be horzontal and perpendicular to the direction it's being viewed from (so the text doesn't look skewed). I've played around with the trans function, but I'm loosing my mind with it. Any ideas?

    Type UCS, then V (or VIEW). This will make the ucs relative to your
    monitor screen and you can put in a border or text, etc.

    Use (trans point ename 1) to convert the ins point to the current ucs.
