How to keep same alphabet for the coordinate system

AK_4957578 — Thu, 21 Dec 2023 09:51:11 GMT

I am using Creo Parametric version 7. I am trying to rename one Co-ordinate as alphabet "A"(Upper Case) and in the same model tree i want to create one mote Co-ordinate and named as alphabet "a"(Smaller Case). Is there any way it can be done. Please guide me if anyone knows a process.

But i have a requirement where i want to name coordinate in the same way.

I will venture to say that it is not possible. The system will treat uppercase and lowercase letters as being the same.

What purpose does naming them with the same letter do? If they are the same CS, all references should be to a single name. If they are in a different location, maybe same orientation, try naming the second as AA.

The rename function in the model tree converts your new name to uppercase, which is why it fails to name 2 CS's as A and a.

Creo views parameter names, entity names, etc in a case-insensitive manner. What you wish to do is impossible.

The only area that I have noticed Creo to care about upper/lower case is when listing files. All uppercase letters come before a lower case "a" ("Z" is listed before "a").

I guess that is a holdover from the very early times, when Pro/ENGINEER was only running on Unix workstations.
