I tried copying the text of one layer, deleted it, then as you said, Paste-in-place.
I then grouped it with some other text (the screws) and made its layer "DOC"
Then I moved the camera, and all the text moved. 
So, not really worth spending a lot of time on. I'll just add a Layer specific to each text block, and show it as needed.
Thanks again.
For some reason I am NOT getting notifications when somebody posts a reply.
I DO have "Notify me when a reply is posted" ticked on.
And yes, my email is correct in account settings.
Sorry I took so long to see your replies.
Anyway, Jean, Bonjour. My SU does not seem to have that dialog box. It is Ver 2015.
Rich, Thanks, I'll try it later in the week when I get a big file saved and cleared.
Yes still with 2015. Haven't upgraded PC to 64 bit.
Anyway, that worked except for what I'm trying to do.
I document some of my drawing layers with free floating text, ie: text without a leader, not pointing to an object.
I usually put it in the upper left corner, and it stays put however I pan or orbit around.
In some cases I will assign the relevant layer to that text so it is only visible when that layer is visible.
But now I need to do something a bit different. Stack a bunch of texts but in a group so I can layer that group (ie: DOC) so they only are visible if both layer DOC and that layer is visible.
The problem is stacking the individual texts in the same spot, because when I tried to do this, they are in different XYZ locations and only seem to be properly stacked from a specific camera angle.
And if I make them a grouped component, and select face camera, they do face camera, but move around as I pan or orbit.
I've attached the .SKP file. It is a set of modifications to an old table saw I have.
If you select layers 2 or 4 or 5 or DOC then pan or orbit, you will see what I mean.
Table Saw Mods
Embarrassed to ask. But it has been a lot of years since I did this.
How do I set "always face camera"?
Can't find the command nor is "F1 help" any help.
First, the lay of the land.
I have SU 2015, buddy has SU-8. Ignoring why neither of us will upgrade, here's the problem.
I created a model in SU 2015, saved in SU-8 format and emailed it as an attachment to him.
I am on a Yahoo ISP, he is on Gmail.
When it arrived, NO ATTACHMENT, not even the ref. to an attachment.
But JPG and MP4 get through no problem. I even tried renaming the ext. to JPG or MP4, same thing. Attachment stripped away. I even sent it from my Gmail account to his. Nada.
I then sent it as a SKP attachment to his other ISP Yahoo, and it got through, but won't load.
So, 2 things to puzzle out.
Is Google stripping away SU files in its emails, maybe in spite that Trimbel now owns it?
Why won't a converted SU 2015 file to SU-8 load? Is Su 2015 to SU-8 faulty?
I can't use warehouse. It won't accept 2015 files.
Any other ideas??
I need some help. I am running SU 15.3.330 32 bit for now.
I'm getting a new 64 bit PC in a month or so and will upgrade to SU latest.
Why is irrelevant at this time, but if you need to know, ask me.
I ran SU 15 from my old installation but the Fredo Lib was partially corrupted and many tools do not work. I lived with it till now when a tool I really needed was not working.
I want to reload Fredo Lib but the only one I can find is for SU 17+.
Where can I find a copy of Fredo Lib for SU 15 32 bit?
I do exactly the same thing.
I just need to visualize the object in real size. If I needed to extrude something 6 mm I just pull up 6.
No mental math involved unless I have a real world object whose dimensions are in inches and I have to model it. Then I use a calculator, (inch to mm), again, no mental math.
Our methods are the same, just the scale is different. For what I am doing I need to mentally imagine the item at true full size from the measurements I see in SU. 10:1 is easier for me.
Yes, quite true, especially for really small printed stuff.
But for me, divide by 10 is mentally far easier than divide by 1,000.
