Did you know that Autocad can check the spelling in your drawings?
Type ’spell’ in the command line and follow the prompts on the dialogue box that appears.
Make sure the dictionary is set to British English.

Renaming Files
If you want to rename multiple files eg, site photos etc, I have recently been using a nifty little piece of Freeware I found on the web called ‘1-4a Rename’. The executable file is stored in Computers and IT and can simply be copied onto your desktop.
Very easy to use, just use the inbuilt explorer to locate your files, fill in the ‘replace’ or ‘Insert/append’ fields as required and select ‘Start’. Job done.
You can also change case if you so desire.
