Force text string to ALL CAPS

[gmintenko]

Does anyone knowif it is possibleto force the display of a text string toshow allcapital lettersin a drawing note?


For example:


Given a part parameterwith the following properties:
name: param1
type: string
value: a description

CanI get thedrawing noteto show: A DESCRIPTION, if I type in: &param1
...regardless of whether the parameter value has any capital letters in it or not?


(I'm looking for something like the UCase() function in Visual Basic)

I did have some software that would automatically tyrn on the Caps Lock depending on what application had the window focus. For Pro/E, we set it to always be in CAPS LOCK on.

Thanks looslib, that's a useful tool.It pretty much solves the problem... although it would be nice to be able to use the same data and format it differently according to where it is needed. If anyone knows how to format the data usingsome sortfunction, please post that too. Otherwise, this will do.Thanks again.

I just downloaded this tool. I'll post my findings. I'm tired of accidently typing all caps because I have the caps lock on for notes in CAD!

Not sure if you are aware of this, or if it works for parameters (it does for normal text strings), but ModelCheck can look for this, and convert the text to all Capital Letters.
