Tommy,  you did not give us a link to the thread.  Do you have it handy? 

No thread to give. Just thinking outside the box. This is how I did it:

 

In plan view, I placed 3D text (laying down). Do a cad to view so that now I have it as cad in a cad detail. Unblock the letters. Now you have closed polylines that you cad change the color of the fill and make it as transparent as you want. For letters like A, B, P, etc. that are made up of two or more polylines, you have to trace it with the rectangular polyline so that you can get it closed, Change fills with transparency as desired. You can also change the line color as needed too. Then I block it. The fill and transparency keep its properties when blocked. If it's something you use all the time, add it to the library (once it's blocked).

I use SketchUp 3D text and import into CA.  This allows any font installed on your computer to be used, and you can apply any colors, transparency; heck, any attribute that can be applied to a symbol can be applied to your text.
