The current frustration is the ability to convert from lower case to caps, as all caps is a council requirement here.
Have I missed something and this is possible, do we have to install an add-on, or do we just keep waiting while copying to word, converting to caps and copying back through!!
TIA

All caps did not become an industry-standard for Architectural Fonts because of an ease of reading - but because of writing techniques and printing tools which are now for the most part obsolete.
The old Ames Lettering devise, Leroy Lettering tools... There was a time when we needed to get the computer fonts to match the fonts of the sheets in older sets of plans where sheets were being added, copied, pasted together...
Also, ease of reading does not always equate to careful reading. Not only is Architectural Lettering different than casual reading fonts, so are the mechanics of sentence structure for notes. There is sort of an industry vernacular that is used specifically for the purpose of accuracy which is not necessary for easy reading/writing.
So when you see all caps used in a set of Architectural Plans it's not necessarily an arbitrary choice. It is one of several features working together which are intended to constitute a Professional set of Drawings - the subtlety of which is perhaps entirely lost on today's youth 
I still use an Architectural Hand font with ArchiCAD because is matches my own almost perfectly. It's called SP Hand and was distributed with SoftPlan back in mid 80's. However, for the General Notes sheets I use an easy to read font and of course Sentance Case.
For what ever it is worth, it is interesting to note the SoftPlan 2020 has an All Caps function. It's helpful I suppose to clean up notes and parts of notes that have been copied and pasted in one format or another so they can all be the same. I think using Microsoft Word is convenient enough for me. I always have it open anyway.

FWIW the triangle example is wrong he will smear ink all over the drawings.The correct placement is to mirror the triangle since then he will be pushing it over white paper and not dragging it over recent ink. Also he is holding the technical pen wrong it should be as close to perpendicular as possible.
If someone lettered like this at the office he would have been fired.
