Changing Text-Case in Material Tags

Can a change the wording of a Materials Tag to all capital letters so it will match all of the other notes?

Yes--open the Tag Family. Then select and in the Ribbon, choose Edit Label, under sample value, change the default text to all caps.

Save and load into project, overwrite. (the Material Tag Family (.rfa)  may be read-only--uncheck under properties so you can overwrite it.)

We had already tried that and it didn't work because somewhere else, the material description is in Upper & Lower cases. We don't currently have the time to change each one. Maybe later.

You may try Dynamo to change all of the material description from lower to uppercase.

Did you use Dynamo? (did not see dynamo script)?

If not, wouldn't you have to change this for every material?

So, basically, the solution is WHERE to make the change  -- not HOW to make the change.  Right? CAPS LOCK worked in lieu of DYNAMO; Yes? 

 

Just wandering by and wondering.
