This message was originally posted by Raymond Lee at CalTech and accidentally rejected during moderation. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, xace, 4_9k, Redhat Linux 7.2 is there something magical about "Used_in"? i noticed this curiosity when i tried to use "Used_in" as a tag name in a new data model. acedb read the models in without complaints but converted Used_in to used_in when i looked at the models using xace display. i tried a number of variations and it seems this phenomenon only happens to "Used_in", the exact string. this bug/feature does not affect my work in any significant way but i'm just wondering why it happens. i had seen a similar phenomenon (for a string that i cannot recall) in the drawing program Canvas. but in that case my work was rather significantly affected because i needed to display that particular string. any ideas? raymond ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Raymond The string "used_in" is a pre-defined tag name in acedb, which doesn't, for any obvious reason, follow the convention of having a leading uppercase character. Despite this convention, tag names are actually case-insensitive, so when you created your "Used_in" tag, acedb assumed you meant the existing "used_in", so converted it. Purely to enforce the convention, I've now properised "Used_in" and a few others that seemed to need it. This shouldn't change any functionality, though it will reverse the polarity of the effect you reported, of course.
