I wish there was a way to convert text to either ALL CAPS or to Upper-Lower case and back again

We run into needing this all of the time. Someone leaves the caps lock on, which is traditional for architectural lettering. But it should also go the other way. Please give us a way to edit text case with multiple options. Otherwise, we have to manually type everything again to comply with company standards. A simple red button could be installed to do this.

There's an Add-On that does this: https://graphisoft.com/sg/ssa/downloads

 

there is a version for AC25, but waiting on the Mac versions for AC26.

I really do wish that all of these add-ons for different language versions were available on the main Graphisoft website.

And of course available for all operating systems and Archicad versions.

Wow! I never knew these addons existed! Some of these are awesome!!!

Are there some others lurking in the depths of the gs website?

That was the Singapore Graphisoft website.

It seems if we have an SSA/Forward agreement, we can access the site with our GSID login.

 

It would be a matter of finding other country Graphisoft websites and seeing what they have and if we have access.

Of course non-English language countries may pose a problem.

 

That is why I think that if these are Graphisoft add-ons and they are not specific to a particular country, then they should be available on the main Graphisoft website.

 

It has taken a while, but we now have all of the language versions for the program itself on the main website.

Now we just need all of the add-ons as well.

Why would such an add-on not be in the standard features for Archicad? Why do we have to search for and load something so basic and simple? It is still my standing wish for a simple task, not an add-on, please! This feature would save many hours or work. (add-on or included)

I wish that the page you linked to indicated the author of each add-on ... or maybe they are all Graphisoft?  With contact info, any other developer could offer to build the Mac version (much less the 26 and 27 versions) and just get it done already.  I'd volunteer and imagine others would too...

there was a long lag with the AC25 ones as well. Maybe James Babcock would know something about the provenance of these add-ons. Hwe was in Singapore when they were made originally.

Source code, so we could recompile or tweak ourselves would be even more amazing! 🤩🤩 but I know that's likely wishful thinking.

Barry, this is a very good point. Various regions have had access to varying add ons for quite some time, with little possibility to share. Graphisoft has established a team to address this.

 

We are currently evaluating this pool of capabilities and the viability of translating the most appropriate ones for a broader reach. Of course, this translation is not only concerning language but also default settings, units of measurement, and other localization efforts. We hope to start broadening the availability of selected add ons soon,
