Is there a way to make AutoCAD use all CAPS while doing everything?

Is there a way to make AutoCad use all caps while doing everything?

And,

Can the computer revert to "Caps off" outside of AutoCad?

[Ed Jobe]

You can with vba.

You can with vba.

Are you going to tell is all how, or leave us in suspenders?

other than using the "Caps Lock" key?

In Mtext if you right click on the window and turn autocaps.

AutoCAPS

Converts all new and imported text to uppercase. AutoCAPS does not affect existing text. To change the case of existing text, select the text and right-click. click Change Case.

I think there is a lisp routine on the exchange called allcaps.lsp that will convert existing text.

there is an express tool that will change the case of existing text.

But nothing to put your text into "Sentence case" or "Title Case".

in ADT 2007 (i dont know about earlier versions) - express tools has tcase which will change text case just like the tool in Word.

Someone at another forum did just that with a little program he wrote called "capsman.exe".

Reply with quote Ok, boys and girls ... here is the very first incarnation ... well if you count the code above, it is the second. I had to do alot of changes to the code so it would work properly in other Windows platforms, but credit for the original idea goes to MP.

The premise is that when a window becomes active it notifies the OS, we can intercept those calls with a simple timer, get the active window, determine what application it is from, and if it is AutoCAD, turn Caps Lock ON if it is a browser window, turn Caps Lock OFF. Well, that is how it is SUPPOSED to work.

I don't have FireFox installed here unfortunately so I am not able to verify it working properly with it. If anyone has a problem with it working properly send me a screenshot of the browser window or AutoCAD window and I will attempt to resolve the problem.

And give me some feedback ...

Enjoy .. I know that I am going to use it...


I think you would have to join to download it. It works well for AutoCad, browser and Outlook Express.
