Tips & Tools Weekly (Vol. 14, No. 20)
31 May, 2009This Week's Software Tips AutoCAD Text Tips, Part 3 How to Select Unselectable Text Text Routines: Append, Realign, Change Case, and More Rotate Text Rotate and Oblique Text Determining Text Height And More Tips! Following up on reminder tips in the past two editions (Text Case Shortcut and Dtext Clarification), the Cadalyst Tip Patrol suggests that the Express Tool Tcase is probably more helpful when converting text to uppercase, or some other case. It works for single-line text and mtext and you can select multiple entities. In addition to uppercase, it also gives option for sentence case, lowercase, title case, and even the rarely used toggle case. (Toggle case makes the text case opposite of what is there.)
