solidworks does not distinguish equal names of quotas in lowercase from those in capital

Hello everyone!
I have been trying to solve this problem for a while. Let us imagine this case: a new sketch opens (“schizzo1”) in which a rectangle is drawn. you want to assign besides the dimensional values of the sides also of the specific names to the quotas. why this? This is useful because the names of the quotas I want to be evocative and for my case “ d1@schizzo1” and “d2@schizzo1” are not. I want to call “h@schizzo1” the quota referred to the greater side and “h@schizzo1” the quota referred to the lower side. However solidworks returns an error because it is not sensitive to the difference between names in lower and uppercase. I wanted to ask you experts if this is a program-manageable setting or I have to hope for a future software update . I use solidworks 2018.
thanks for any delucidations.
 
I don't think that's possible. would also be a complicated management for all those features that use quota names as variables (see equations).
Moreover, all that follows is my opinion, solidworks have not even thought of this possibility; think if in a model with dozens of functions you have to rename all odds, which also include those derived from functions, you will double the modeling time.
It is usually a thing that is done with the odds to be inserted in a data table to make them immediately recognizable, but from my experience they are never so many so in my opinion it makes more sense to use some elasticity rather than to implement the difference between upper and lowercase.
also is a limit of windows itself.

In fact, my application concerned the recognition from a data table. All right, thank you.
