Title Case vs Upper Case vs Display Option
As ADT defaults with the AIA Version 2 layering standards, using title case (i.e. "G-Anno-Symb"), and other layer standards - including our office standard - uses the upper case convention ("G-ANNO-SYMB"), it would be nice to have a display option in the Layer Manager to see the layer names in the end user's preference. The display options could be "Title Case," "Upper Case," "Lower Case" or "Normal." That way, whoever is setting up layer keys for an office standard won't have to worry as much about what case convention to use. This will also help maintain display consistency when bringing in layers from consultant drawings, etc. For more control, the layer standards components could also have an option or additional wildcards to set case preferences, for Normal mode.
