Change Case

arkman — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 21:26:01 GMT

I just finished a set of drawings and now the boss wants them to be in lower case format...our standard is upper case but whatever.

Is there a way to do mulitple lines of text at once? I know i can click on one text box and highlight the text and do it...I was just hoping that I could do it drawing wide.

If it is all MTEXT, and not plain TEXT, trhen yes: double-click each MTEXT column, select all, and right-click (choice is there to what many case option).

If it is all single lines of Text, sadly you need full AutoCAD and some additional customized routines to finish the task.

In addition to Deans first line, if you are editing a piece of MText then try CTRL + A to select all and CTRL + SHIFT + L to set it to lower case.

This can be quicker for a more repetive task like this

Thanks guys. I guess I wasn't clear. I know the way to do each mtext at a time. I was hoping to do it through out the drawing all in one shot.
