Text Tool Capitalization Options (All Caps, Small Caps, etc.)

[Pedro Melo]

It would be very helpful to have capitalization control options in the Text Tool, allowing users to easily toggle between:

• All Caps

• Small Caps

• Sentence case

• Lowercase

---

Proposed Implementation:

• Add a dropdown in the Text Settings dialog (or Info Box) to choose capitalization style.

• Works similarly to how text formatting is handled in most modern word processors and design software.

• Does not alter the original text input — just controls how it's displayed.

---

Why This Is Useful:

• Improves Typography Control: Designers often need different text styles depending on drawing types (e.g. titles in ALL CAPS, notes in Sentence Case).

• Saves Time: No need to retype or manually convert text for formatting consistency.

• Increases Flexibility: Makes the Text Tool more robust without needing multiple versions of the same note.

---

Example Use Case:

• A user types: Suspended ceiling with acoustic panels

• Then sets it to display as:

  • ALL CAPS → SUSPENDED CEILING WITH ACOUSTIC PANELS

  • Small Caps → Suspended Ceiling With Acoustic Panels (styled with small caps)

  • Sentence Case → Suspended ceiling with acoustic panels

---

This would be a small but high-impact enhancement for documentation clarity and drawing standards — and a very familiar UX upgrade for most users.

Just in general, in case you don't want to change the view name to uppercase (same source, different outputs). An example could if I want the drawing title (on layout) in upper case, but don't want to adjust it in the view name since it appears on other places. A manual text is the only other solution I can think of

OK, so you want the ability to be able to change the case of the autotext without changing the case of the source text.

I am not sure this will be possible as even with manual text, you have to change the original text.

So for auto text, you would have to change the source of the text.

So the wish really is to have an override control in the text settings, to control the case of the text, as we can do now for the style (bold, italic), font, colour, etc.

And this override needs to also work on the autotext components of that text.

Also, override for number formats and units would be extremely useful, in the same vein!

@Jonur have you seen this: https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Wishlist/Text-Tool-Capitalization-Options-All-Caps-Small-Caps-et...

Is this what you are looking for?

@Pedro Melo 

I have merged the two wishes now.

Thanks @Laszlo Nagy  !

I think I brought this up like 21 years ago... I did a full set of documents to find out the company standard was all-caps. I ended up retyping a lot, using word translation for some (which still has it's own problems).
the c/i add-on barry mentioned/linked in another post doesnt seem to be active any longer. 
From what I can tell, PC has an OS wide feature for this, maybe not? I'm not a windows guy.
...
but this came up again this morning; someone wanting to reformat a consultants notes for our plan set. Thats a LOT of work, even using online translators with copy/paste; since copy/paste in archicad throws text formatting, index, font, etc. off.
