Anybody know of a add-on to change the case of text in AC9 from uppercase to a title text?

Orbit Accessories has a free accessory (I think you register online now, but its free).

beware all the flash stuff gets in the way of effective navigation - my opinion.

Thanks, ordering today.

The Flash site is pretty annoying / slow...

So, has the free text/align accessory been released for 9 now? Their site still says 8.1 ...

The free orbit Accessories was for 8.1 only. I ordered the one for 9.0 which awkwardly enough you have to do by emailing them and letting them know you want it. They send you a link to PayPal etc. It costs $19.00 which I think is worth it because of the align feature.

One of our projects were typed up using "sentence format" with both upper and lower cases. It's now being required to be delivered in all upper case so we have to change all of our text and labels. We are prepared to do a lot of MS word copy and pasting but I wanted to know if ArchiCAD has a force UPPERCASE feature hidden somewhere? It'd be nice if they did! I also clicked on the link to Orbit Solutions but I do not see anything there, nor do I know if that AC9 object/tool would be compatible with our AC13 TW Project.

Any help, again if any, would be appreciated. Thanks.

Would it be okay with your standards if you were to simply change the font to one that looks the same but only has all caps within? That way you could change all similar items together.

Not a great solution but it could work in a pinch. Of course, that means hunting online for a matching font...

I will suggest this Case converter. This is a very popular and easy case converter.
