Subject: Drawing View Name Case and Scale

When we create drawing views, they always default to being upper case for the first letter and  lower case for the remaining verbiage.  An example would be "Section view A-A".  Is there some way to change this to default to all caps?  I've looked through the standards and help docs and I'm not seeing it there.  When you add a view name (Right click on view-->** object/Add View Name) it defaults to the case CATIA uses when it created the views.  I have to change the view names to all caps before automatically adding the View Name (Yeah, I realize I could just add the text manually).

On a related note, is there a way to have the Scale not appear when adding the view name via RMB/** object/Add View Name?  I know you can turn it off in the options under Tools/Options/Drafting/Layout, but this only works for automatic creation when creating views.

Thanks,

Oh for crying out loud. Can't see the forest through the trees.

I looked at that file and was messing around with it too. It just didn't dawn on me that this was creating my default letter cases.

What about the scale? If I take "Prefix" out it still creates the scale.

Thanks DW
