How to name of coordinate systems for connectors in Creo Parametric 8 with upper/lower case names?

Good morning, 

 

I am trying to change the default name of the coordinates on my D38999 Mil Connector to match the part information. They are all listed in alphabetical order from A to lower case c. However Creo will not let me have two letter cases on my connector. How do I work around this?

All datums must have a unique name, Creo does not support case sensitive naming for datum tags.

 

You should manage the pin names in the connector shell using the routed systems functionality. It supports mapping the pin name to a csys (entry port in the connector shell).

Pin declaration on a connector is handled by a list of pin names based on the value entered. The value for the pin name should be an integer or a string of integers. After you have entered the value, the pins are arranged in the ascending order of the values specified in the table. The necessary pins for the conductor are mapped to the respective entry port.
