Morning all,

Within both the Hardscape Schedule and the Planting Schedule the Quantities and Spacing columns allow for metres (m) and millimetres (mm) to be lowercase. Is there a way to show these in lowercase in the notes of the Hardscape Schedule as well as the in the container column in the Planting Schedule?

Hardscape Example:
Hardscaping Description - 10MM DIAMETRE RUNDLE FINES AT 75MM DEPTH.
10mm DIAMETRE RUNDLE FINES AT 75mm DEPTH.

I do have our schedules set to be uppercase so I do understand why the notes come in this way, just wondering if this could possibly be overwritten.

Planting Example:
CALIPER: - 75MM CAL.
75mm CAL.

Yet the spacing for a shrub or groundcover are will show up correctly as 250mm.

Thank you,
Wes,

That's a great point. It would just need to be a little smart about how it capitalizes the text -- if it encounters an "mm" or an "m" directly after a number, and before a space, period, comma, or end of line, then it would leave it. The only thing I can think of that might cause it to misfire, would be something like a Model Number, or maybe a Paint Color or something, that happens to end with an M.
I'll get this on the list and play with it a bit to see what we can come up with.
