Many of you know that I started using AutoCAD more than 25 years ago while working for a Civil Engineering and Land Surveying firm. At the time, it was a small office and I was both the CAD Manager and main CAD drafter. I did the drafting for most of the engineers. Having said this, there was one engineer I will never forget as he was VERY particular about his text. He had two simple Rules.
Rule number 1: ALL text needed to be in Uppercase.
Rule number 2: There were NO exceptions to Rule number 1.
I really could have used today’s tool back then. :)
In short, today’s installment is all about quick ways to adjust text case. In other words, quickly convert Lowercase text to Uppercase. Or perhaps convert Uppercase text to Sentence case.
We will actually look at several ways to do this including some “right-click” functionality, hotkeys and the TCASE command. At the same time we will explore the various types of objects in Civil 3D that can contain text and which ways work best with each. (Text, MTEXT, Civil 3D Label…)
Check out the video below to get started.
