#Catch up w/ things …
Message #111362
Just thought I'd let you know that I met Ted Boardman at the NAAUG Board meeting in DC on the 19th. I didn't get to talk w/ him much, but he spoke very highly of you when I mentioned your name. You two must go back a ways, huh? I'm…
John; I just found Brief listed in Programmer's Shop for $89. Since I have become attached to it at my former job, I think I'll bite the bullet. Steve …
Jonas; Thanks for pointing me into the right direction. Steve …

#Need to learn 3DS soon!
Message #97677
Dear John; Perhaps I mis-phrased my request. What I meant to say is that I wanted to become familiar enough with the tool to know what I'm talking about during a potential job interview. I did not mean to imply that I could learn it nor even apply it after…

#Need to learn 3DS soon!
Message #97676
Dave; Thanks again for offering to let me learn by watching; however, I've come to the simple realization that I should persue my trade, Programming. That's what I enjoy most and I've got almost 10 years of experience in the field. I guess my facination with 3DS and what can…

Boarland's BBS #
Message #97675
Thanks Gus; I was able to get a fix for Brief, as soon as I logged in. Aparenly, Brief has a memory conflict with Gateway 486/66 PC's. Fortunately, the the workaround was to use DEBUG and took only a few minutes to accomplish. Thanks again! Steve …

Gus; Someone from Adesk said you might have Boarland's BBS number handy. Any such luck? Steve …
#Need to learn 3DS soon!
Message #96969
Dave, I know you've been working late hours, but I was hoping I could borrow your copy of 3DS to learn how to use it. Jim R. let me onto a possible job interview at Eathen Allen, but I would look like a better candidate if I know how to…
POCO-LOADER
Message #96626
Ed; Thanks for the length reply. Just to let you know, the deadline for the Spring newsletter was April 7th and with my new job, an overview of the Programmers SIG is all I had time to write about. Don't worry. I'll be submitting an article for the summer newsletter,…
#POCO-LOADER
Message #95793
Nik; Thanks for the reply. Better late than never as I always say. If you've followed the thread, you know that Ed has given me much to publish about POCO. I don't know if I'll make the deadline (tommorrow), especially since I haven't submitted the newsletter on our SIG's formation…
Dave; I'll give Ed K. recognition if he wants it. Perhaps he already has. I have 2 more messages to read after yours. With my new job, I'm not sure when I can stop by for a visit, but will keep in touch. Steve …

Message #95418
Dear Ed; Thanks for all the messages on POCO. I'll be glad to add some of them to my article and make you nationally famous as well. What can I mention about you in the credit? Steve …
Dear Nik; Please Help… As president of NAAUG's newly formed Programmer's SIG, I have accepted the task of writing an article or two. The first will expain the formation and role of the SIG, while the second will explore Autodesk programming environments. I've got AutoCAD environments covered, but know nothing…
Dave; Got your message on my voice mail today. Fortunately, I've left Summa and am now in greener pastures. I'll try to give you a call Friday eve. Hope to reach you. If not, have a wonderful first Easter with Karen and Emily. Steve … PS. Can you give me…
#What's new?
Message #93511
Dave; Haven't heard from you lately. Anything new? How are Karen and Emilly doing? Sheila and Colleen are doing just fine; however, she's uncomforable a lot with her first teeth coming in. Steve …
Call give our Customer Support Dept. a call at 1-800-SAY-SUMMA. They can probably help you out. Let me know how you make out.
Summasketch wont work
Message #83060
Brian; MM mode on our SS III is automatic. Only if you are using a 16 button cursor, do you need to issue the MM command. Perhaps that is what you are referring to. By the way, what do you do at Autodesk? I try to get on CS several…
Mike; Try using a SummaSketch FX instead. Coming soon at a dealer near you! Steve[Summa]
It's a girl!
Message #78333
Thanks Jim; Tell me more about you and your baby. – Steve
JKJ; Thanks for the indepth reply. Give me a day or two and I'll try to get you some satisfactory answers. – Steve
Jim; That's great news about their baby girl! We just had our first 6 months ago. Colleen is healthy and doing fine. Regarding the 60's, I did not live that lifestyle; however, I have several older siblings that did. I guess it can rub off on you, even into the…
James; Sorry I have not been following this thread. Why is it labeled "It's a girl!"? Regarding the sleep, I find that if I did not sleep, I would be contantly living inside a real world with real people, places and things. When I sleep, I move into a virtual…

#Wacom Tablet
Message #76391
Dear Michael; Why not consider a SummaSketch FX. We will be shipping them by the end of this month and have received a lot of good feedback from artists that have tried them all. They really like our stylus over that of our competition. We also have an excellent ADI…
So true: We provide the drivers with our tablets and support them 100%. I guess I should be saying 'our' drivers. Sorry for the misunderstanding. The meeting went well! We are still looking for Librarian if you are interested. Our first steering committee meeting is on Thursday, Jan. 6 in…
Because of it's absolute movement, a digitizer is surely a more proficient input device than a mouse. However, many people cannot afford the extra $300 and therefore consider them to be a luxury. If I spent $10,000 on a high end PC for CAD/Graphics, I would surely spend the extra…
Summagraphics Tablet
Message #68172
Perhaps if you tried using our tablets with 3D Studio R3 and our ADI 4.1 Protected mode driver, you would have a different attitude. Read SUMMA1.RES in the 3DS library (#3) for more information. It would also help if Autodesk either did a better job at writing the internal Summa…
Please read the file SUMMA1.RES in the 3DS file library (#3). I hope this cures things for now. SM
Please read the file SUMMA1.RES in the 3DS File library (#3). It recommends using their ADI 4.1 protected mode driver. Good Luck! SM
I would be interested in updating our ADI 4.1 Protected mode driver to accomodate your button mapping requests. Please provide me with more detail. SM
Input other than mice!
Message #68167
If your talking about your Summa Tablet, are you using their ADI 4.1 Protected mode driver. Note the file SUMMA1.RES in the 3DS file area. SM

Why not buy a SummaSketch III tablet from Summagraphics! I hear that their tablets work fine with 3DS R3 using their ADI 4.1 Protected mode driver. Check it out! Steve McGuinness, Summagraphics
