Small case letters

[kpanik]

A small gripe, I know, but what is the deal with the small case letters in the chamfer note? (Written "Chamfer") What drawing standard does not use all caps?
Yes, I have fixed it, but why should I have to?

Ya I had to go fix the styles to and I thought the exact same
thing...why should I have to do this?

Kind of lame for a company that specializes in drafting software!

I believe DIN, the German standard uses mixed case. I would expect
other European standards do as well.

Personally, I wish ANSI would change to mixed case, it's so much easier
to read. In fact, I just ignore ANSI and use mixed case for that
reason. I haven't had a customer complain yet.

ICK! I guess I've been ANSI too long. Small case letters just stick out like a sore thumb to me. That's why I was so taken aback by the text.

ICK could be taken both ways. Is that ICK to all upper case or ICK to
all lower case 😉

I also think we should have used the momentum of the 70's when it became
the official system in North America to join the rest of the world and
use metric.

I also think Z is up, not this touchy-feely Y is up thing. But I digress.

That was ICK for any lower case letters in a drawing.

"Y" is up...
Not really. Just in the sketch. When you extrude, "Z" is up.
