Connector name letter case

[amedina]

A fellow cabling engineer here is trying to add a lower case "i" to a
component name in pro/Diagram. It seems to always default to upper case.
Is this some sort of standard that its following by default? can it be
changed?

thanks.

Hi Alfonso...

I am not very well versed in Pro/DIAGRAM so this suggestion may be completely useless. I know there's a trick that the Pro/E Neutral Wire Files use to specify lowercase pin names. If you enter lowercase letters, the system usually just maps them to uppercase. I haven't used this trick in awhile so hopefully I'm recalling it properly. If you precede the pin names with a backtick (`) I believe the system stops the "automatic uppercase". I'm pretty sure it's the backtick symbol... but if I'm wrong then it's the single quote symbol instead ('). I know this works in the NWF file for pins. Whether or not it will work in Pro/DIAGRAM for a connector name is completely unknown.

I'm just tossing it out there as a W.A.G. on the off chance it can offer any help. Try preceding the connector name in DIAGRAM with a backtick and see if you can override the automatic uppercase conversion. Good luck- wish I knew more to help you.

Thanks!

In Creo or RSD the following will place a lower case ALPHA character, #trunc#. I hope this helps.
