Linked text

I have a drawing template that has a block displayed on it. In this
block there is a piece of text that is linked to the file name of the
drawing. Our file naming convention says we use all lower case letters
in file names. The problem is, I want this linked text to always show
as caps on the drawing. Anyone know of a way to accomplish this? We
are on 2006-sp4-Win-XP-PRO

 

Hi,

I would recommend leaving the file name as lowercase on the drawing,
especially if that is the company standand on how to save them. If
you really need to capitalize the file name, but still reference the
file name link, you will need to find a macro that knows how to
interpret the information to give you the output you desire for that
field.

However, if you want something quick and dirty, I have a macro that
capitalizes all or selected text annotations:

Once you run this macro, however, the file name link is delinked in
the annotation once it is capitalized using this macro, so if you
rename the file later, you will have to enter the changed information
manually.
