This has been a small thing which has irked me since I started using Revit.

I have never, never seen a plan which had lower case letter in it. Maybe its just the fact that I am isolated in the mid-Atlantic market, but this is like the universal standard from everything I have seen. I am sure it is in some AIA standard somewhere as well to always use caps.

In Revit, anything that goes onto a plan or drawing should be upper case by default. This includes headers of schedules, units, default space names or anything else which goes on a sheet.

Ummm... sometimes an Architect likes to use lowercase in their titleblock or logo.

But that's it.

I think Avatech as an API utility for changing case.

Also, monitoring caps lock or such could probably accomplished with AutoHotKey: http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/SetNumScrollCapsLockState.htm

This shows a script for keeping caps lock off, you'd want it different.

I am referring more to automatically generated text from Revit analysis and what not.
