autoPlace [-useMouse]
autoPlace is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.
This command takes a point in the centre of the current
modeling pane and projects it onto the live surface.
This produces a point in 3 space which is returned.
If the um/useMouse flag is set the current mouse position
is used rather than the centre of the modeling pane.
