Hidden Text Tricks…
In the Blog I wanted to talk about a couple of text editing commands in AutoCAD that I don’t hear about much, so I was just wondering if people were using them or not? The first one is TCASE command. (Text Case) This command will allow you to change the case to several variations of [...]
