Why is there not a system option for 2017 that lest you override any keyboard setting so that when your in any area of SolidWorks you get all CAPS?
Flipping from email to here to there people take it as yelling when you do all caps except on drawings. There it keeps letters from looking like other ones.
There may not be a system option for this, but you could check the "All Uppercase" setting in a note's properties and save that as a separate style. Or just do it on a note-by-note basis.
