I WASNT THE TEXT TO ALWAYS BE IN CAPS, BUT I DO NOT LIKE THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON BECAUSE CAPS "M" GOES STRAIGHT TO THE MACROS MENU. CAN I SET CAPS IN DATACAD WITH OUT HAVING TO TURN CAPS LOCK ON & OFF?

Hello Jason,

I am afraid I possibly could be not understanding your point. But I'l take the chance.

When you are typing a text string you are not allowed to use letter keys short-cuts.
So, if you are into "Text" menu, and placed the text string starting point, you can type whatever you want that this is not going to confuse with a short-cut.

HTH.

Thanks,
Miguel

GOOD MORNING JASON: GO TO THE TEXT MENU AND TURN ON "ALL CAPS". THIS WILL GIVE YOU UPPER CASE LETTERING INDEPENDENTLY OF THE CAPS LOK AND SHIFT KEYS. THE TRAP IS IN CALLING UP SOME UNITS SUCH AS 9"mm". WITH ALL CAPS THAT IS TRULY THE DEFAULT

Don't forget to thank Dave G. and crew They are the real masterminds

Hello Josh:

I am this close to getting everything just right! I changed my INI line to TRUE and this is great for entering text. But, when editing text, this All Caps setting does not apply -- and I think that it should!

Hi Dave & Josh:

When you Change/Text/Contents, the text shows up in the "Message" line as lowercase; even if All Caps is on. I do have the CapsLock=TRUE in my INI. And when I hit enter -- the lowercase text stays lowercase in the drawing!

Hello,

Sorry Dave, but the 'All Caps' feature never worked to me, with the accented characters.
So, I decided to leave it 'FALSE' in DCADWIN.INI, and suggesting to use always with 'All Caps' OFF.

Please take a look at here, below. Especially when 'All Caps' is ON in both cases.

Within DCADWIN.INI CapsLock=FALSE



Within DCADWIN.INI CapsLock=TRUE



This is, indeed, actually not a problem for us today, but I would wish it to be faced for v12. There are several improvements in the next major release that I would like to put all together. I am sure that it crosses over the management of fonts, Vectorial and TTF.
A transparent flow between this font families will be required.

TIA,
Miguel
