nocturne00 Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Hi guys; Can a Date FIELD be set to all caps? Instead of September 2008- SEPTEMBER 2008? TIA Quote
JBullseye74 Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 haha thats a good question. You have so many different options to indicate the date and you want it in caps I can't see a way of doing this i've just tried and failed.... is there a text style you can use that only uses caps? just a thought?

JBullseye74 Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Cracked it mate Change your text font name to 'Perpetua Titling MT' and make that current. Hey presto Quote
nocturne00 Posted September 12, 2008 Author Posted September 12, 2008 Cracked it mate Change your text font name to 'Perpetua Titling MT' and make that current. Hey presto sadly I dont have that font. but It if that worked ill have a run at google. . is that font similar to arial? Quote
nocturne00 Posted September 12, 2008 Author Posted September 12, 2008 thanks for that, its a bit similar. Ill leave that as a last resort if this doesnt work hehe ive found a similar thread to this problem. check it out. http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=37389 It uses rtext>diesel , im still trying to get my head around this one of our moderators there Quote
nocturne00 Posted September 12, 2008 Author Posted September 12, 2008 it works! :D :D ive used this diesel routine. $(upper, $(edtime, 0, MONTH YYYY)) Quote
nocturne00 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Posted September 13, 2008 Hi, where exactly do I fit that code in FIELD? tried to input it but I got a fatal error once ive typed the %. Sorry, im still new to this stuff thanks. Quote
dbroada Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 I think that is the field code, just type it in as text. Quote
nocturne00 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Posted September 13, 2008 Hi Dave, I tried to input just the MMMM yyyy %tc1 to match the Field Expression on the lower left part of the screenshot, but once I type in "%" the error occurs. Im trying to find where i can directly place the entire code posted by ASMI if it is possible. Quote
ASMI Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Field editor isn't need. Just copy blue string to Text, MText or Block Attribute. Quote
nocturne00 Posted September 14, 2008 Author Posted September 14, 2008 :lol: That was soooooooooooooo incredibly...... easy. and to think ive been scrounging up google for hours trying to find a solution. maybe LISP,CUI etc would be the next step to improve CADing. Thanks so much for the tip. cheers mate Quote
nocturne00 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Posted September 15, 2008 I think that is the field code, just type it in as text. dang, i didnt get what u meant by that that would have already solved it Quote

TIA 1. DOUBLE-CLICK BLOCK REFERENCE TEXT TO OPEN ENHANCED ATTRIBUTE EDITOR 2. RIGHT-CLICK THE VALUE FIELD AND INSERT FIELD 3. UNDER FIELD CATAGORY NAME CLICK ON DATE, THEN SET THE FORMAT AS NEEDED PUT "%tc1" WITH NO QUOTES OR SPACES IN FRONT OF DATE FORMAT TO MAKE IT UPPERCASE (THIS MEANS TITLE CASE TYPE 1) 4. APPLY CHANGES EXAMPLE : %tc1MMM WILL SHOW MONTH AS THREE LETTERS IN ALL CAPS: I.E. JAN, FEB, MAR, ETC. HOPE THIS HELPS. ig: chevy_techno Edited April 14, 2023 by chevy_techno Spelling error 1 Quote
