Dynamic block attribute to match snapang

Hi, I've created a dynamic block with an attribute. However, when I inserted it into a drawing in model space, then switched back to paperspace, I noticed that the viewport has been rotated, so that north isn't pointed straight up the page it's ~30° to the right.

 

Is there a way to create a self rotating attribute so that it's always horizontal in the current viewport?

It would be horizontal in model space, but in paperspace and if the viewport get rotated, but the attribute needs to remain horizontal.

 

If it's at all possible I want to do it inside a dynamic block without running a lisp routine, since I'll have to pass the block along to other people, and I don't want them to have to run lisps to get it to work.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks
