Hi,

How to save a file with its name in upper case letters?

Whenever we try to open a new file and name it with upper-case letters and if I save, its getting saved in lower case.

Any idea about how to do this?

    Some things in Pro/Creo just make me want to bang my head on my desk.

    Uppercase has been the drafting standard for EONS. And a program that doesn't support uppercase filenames just boggles me.

      My boss always wants to stomp me into the ground cause of all the letters in filenames from Creo being lowercase.

        I bet. It's ridiculous.

        This problem is like unexplainable to people like my boss. I keep telling him I don't get it either.

        Tbh I think this problem is actually meaningless at this moment already.

        You know what would be ridiculous? If PTC solved this problem and also the problem with length of filenames and then came out with these as improvements.

        "Oh look we have improved filenaming conventions. How cool is that?"

        Everyone would be like: "How is that an improvement?"

        Cause these should have been solved in last century. Not at this time.

        Just thinking about trying to solve these now sounds too ridiculous.

        This time PTC should only crawl under a stone.

        Please vote for this idea to have PTC consider changing this.

        I kinda of feel like "meh". But I'll vote it up anyway.

        haha, Brian

        You know the more I look at this idea. I have to say this stuff with filenaming kind of derails all the cool features of Creo.

        So the change is inevitable...

        Just because if this change happens anyone out there using Creo will get used to it immediately.

        My thought was this:

        There are many good ideas in the idea section. And some of them make take a miniscule amount of effort to complete; say, as easy as flipping a switch.

        I would like to see small,easy-to-fix items added - especially items that currently do not follow the conventions of 3D modeling & drafting. Drafting has always been uppercase. All places I've worked require uppercase names for Engineering files. PTC cannot comply.

        It seems like this is so simple and so basic it shouldn't have to be something we have to request.

        I agree that some of these "simple" ideas may be as easy as flipping a switch. So, for that reason alone, we should send up those ideas. Maybe we can get some of the simple ones knocked out without even batting an eyelash.

        My experience with uppercase is different. I've worked for about a dozen engineering companies and I've never seen or heard a standard that says you need uppercase for engineering files. In my experience, when I saw uppercase names, it was because cruddy 2D CAD systems couldn't handle anything else. But if adding support for case sensitive names is easy, I say let's add it. If it's not easy and requires a massive re-coding... then skip it!
