All Caps Font

Take your exsisting font file, export itto a text file format, replace the lower case code woth the upper case code for each letter, save the file and recompile it back to a NX font.

Write a VB program for text input that takes your input string and converts it to uppercase before placing it into the variable for the field on your drawing.

At a prior company, we used a GRIP program for drawing formats, prior to NX2. The data for the drawing was stored as attributes and the program would not only check for all capitals, but also the string length so an engineer could entere a string longer than we wanted for the data fields. If the string was enetered in lower case, we would convert it to upper case before storing it. We did it by parsing the string, checking the acsii value of each character and then adding/subtracting the difference between the upper/lower ascii value, the rewriting the string in the proper format.

Went with option "A". Attached is the font file if anyone else finds a need for it. Based on blockfont. Thanks.
