ISO annotations - can I modify them?

There are a couple things that come in with the text when I run an ISO that I would like to turn off but I can't figure out how.  I know the annotation style is Adskisoannotation, but is there a way to get in there and customize it?  Or is that what I would even do?  Anyway, all the size call outs come in with an "NS" after the size, i.e. 4" NS.  Also, I would like to change the "X" in the reducer size callout to be a lower case "x".  It comes in upper case. There is no "anno" anything when I go in to "edit ISO symbols" either.  Out of ideas. Please help!

I was able to get rid of the "NS" in the isoconfig.xml files and thought I found where to change the "X" to lowercase but that one didn't work.  Still investigating that one....

 

If anyone needs to know where the "NS" configuration is, I have it written down and will forward if needed.

There is a 'forceuppercase' option at the beginning of the isoconfig.xml.

Thanks so much.  It worked!  I don't know much about xml just yet but have been able to figure a few things out.  Again thank you.

Is there a way to have a mix? I'm wanting Material, Description, Sch./Class  to be upper case but Qty & ND to be lower case. Am think you would need to set the first Forcecase to false  then have other Forcecase to individual areas for Material , Description &  Sch/Class?

Anyone able to help?

You can create duplicate columns but that have upper case values, by setting up a calculated property (PLANTDEFINECALCPROPERTIES command) using something like this:

If I want to increase the size of the iso arrow, is it possible in isoconfig.xml and is it the good way?

If you mean the FlowArrow, you can use Block Editor in the IsoSymbolStyles.dwg file to scale it as required.
