To all Ani Pro users in search of drawing tablets. I strongly advice against purchasing the CalComp Drawing Slate 6×9 tablet with pressure sensitive stylus. This product did not work in Summagraphics mode at all. It only appeared to work (and not very well) in relative (or mouse mode). It did not work in absolute mode (position on tablet matches positions on screen). CalComp tech reps seemed disinterested in keeping me as a customer. They blamed Autodesk's Ani Pro instead of their obviously faulty device driver CCMOUSE. I am trading in my CalComp for a Wacom 4×5 tablet (smaller but I hear it is more dependable). Luckily, I only had the tablet for a few days and well within the return timeframe. Paul Frey Our World Comics
