Hi,
My keyboard is portuguese.
1 - The command to change text case with accents does not work for both uppercase and to lowercase:
2 - In the text editor when writing just using the first line with uppercase characters we can't see the accents.
Regards,
Jose Would you be able to supply details regarding the method being used to change the case of this text with accents. The command or workflow used might make a difference as to whether this is working as expected. Did you find that the same workflow was operating ok in previous versions of MicroStation? The problems I am envisioning are that these types of text are classed as symbols within the fonts being used.
Looking at the operation of right clicking in the Text Editor and using the options under the Change Case item these type of Symbols would not be able to have their case changed. This is due to them being Symbols and not ordinary text. This operation has been tested in both MicroStation CONNECT Edition and V8i. I believe you would physically need to select the new upper case symbol with accent from the fonts symbol dialog.
What you might find works better is the Change Case tool located under the Text ribbon group. This seems to work better than the option available in the Text Editor.

To give a comparison regarding to SS3: 1 - Works the same as described for CE, when selecting the text inside Text editor and then right click and Change Case doesn't change letters with accents (upper or lower) - I would expect this to work exactly as Microsoft word. 2 - With CAPS and accents in the first line of text editor I can see them in SS3. Change Case through the Ribbon works similar as inside Text Editor, but I prefer by far through Text Editor because inside this we have control of what to change, as by through the Ribbon the command changes all the text of the element.
And finally with CE we have now all the 4 options that were available in SS3 only through the toolbox.

Hello José,Unfortunately I am not able to replicate your issue. I have Finnish keyboard and both MicroStation V8i SS3 (08.11.09.459) and CONNECT Edition (10.00.00.25) work correctly. All the different types of accents are visible when changing the case with all 4 options. I have also English version of MicroStation as well as Finnish version and all them are working fine.
The text is very top in Text Editor so it is difficult to see the accents in the Text Editor when letters are as upper case, but when I place the text all accents are there properly.
Regards,Anu
Hi Jose,
I have tested with MicroStation CONNECT edition (English) using an spanish and portuguese keyboard and I can reproduce your issue (I also have the spanish language pack installed). I believe the issue could be related to spanish and portuguese special characters
Issue does not happen in V8i
