Text all caps

Hi StefanC, 

While placing a Text Field, you will see an option in dialog for 'case'. Check screenshot.

Thank you for your reply, however this only seems to be available when inserting a field?

I want to have a text file with **site_adress** where the pentable makes a text substition (**site_adress** -->  $(site_adress)) and replaces it with the adress as defined by a variable in the project configuration file ($(site_adress) = .....)

I want to force it to all caps, regardless how it is written in the variable.

I don't see how I can do this with a text without using Insert Field? (or how to do it with inserting a Field)

What about choosing a font that has only upper case ?

Use Named Expressions in Pen Table. Check Blog

My named expression

_SiteAddressUpper
system.string.toupper(ConfigVar.GetExpandedConfigVar("SITE_ADDRESS"))

Pen Table substitution
$SITE_ADDRESS$
<expr?name=_SiteAddressUpper>

Output

Note: Add the named expression dgnlib file name to configuration variable MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST

I would like to keep it all in the same font, and not switch whenever I need an all caps text, so that wouldn't work.

I'll have a look at those named expressions, maybe this could do the trick.
