Architects dont HAVE to write all in caps in their working drawings... but it just looks nicer.
i went to school to be an architect and we were taught to ALWAYS type in caps on blueprints
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS WHEN YOU LEARN HOW TO DRAFT THEY TEACH YOU TO USE ALL CAPS AS NOT TO CONFUSE ANY ONE THEY ALSO TEACH YOU TO ONLY USE SINGLE STROKE GOTHIC LETTERS TO ELIMINATE CONFUSION THE WHOLE PURPOSE IS TO TAKE ANY GUESS WORK OUT OF READING WHAT EVER SOME ONE HAS WRITTEN ON A PLAN BUT NOW WE USE COMPUTERS SO SLOPPY WRITING IS NO LONGER A BIG ISSUE BUT THE CAPS STANDARD STUCK FOR MOST INDUSTRY'S
what sucks now is that where i work, everything is written in COBOL, but we don't own the rights to the compiler. so if there is a bug, i can look at the code, find the problem, but can't fix it. we have to send it out to a vendor, which charges a lot of money

Those are some heavy duty systems though. Sounds like government or industrial work?
