Changing Pipe Label Style to capitalize “concrete Pipe” and remove “SI”

My company has yet to develop their own Civil 3-D template and I am in the process of creating one of their first designs completely in Civil 3-D. I was leveling my sanitary line so it would show its DIA but couldn’t figure out how to have “concrete Pipe” all in capital or how I would remove “SI” from the label. Attached are images of the pipe label in profile view and what the text editor is presently showing. If anyone can help me revise the Pipe Label Style to show as the engineer would like I would be grateful. Thank you.

Delete the SI from the Parts List for the concrete pipe. Use the upper case instead of the preserve case. 

 

If the pipe has already been placed change the description of the pipes.

The “concrete Pipe” an be capitalized by highlighting the "Description" portion in your "what is making the pipe text.png" > select preserve case   > Change capitalization to uppercase. Then click the arrow to push it over to the viewer.

 

"Material" values can also be added to Parts Lists & then used in leu of description in pipe labels such as 12" RCP etc.

These values get stored in the AeccSharedPropertyLists.xml file.

Where in the Part List would I make that change? Can you provide a screen shot?

I was able to get "concrete Pipe" description to use upper case but still having issues with the "SI" part of the descriptions. Do I have to edit the values in the AeccSharedPropertyLists.xml file?

For new pipes change it in the image, for old pipes change the description in Pipe Properties.
