I am having trouble using the Wacom Art Pad tablet with TrueSpace. It appears that objects overreact wildly to the slightest movement of the pen. During the first tutorial, when trying to move the camera to the bottom center of the screen, the camera misbehaved something awful. Its movement was counterintuitive to the pen's movement and it flew off the screen at the slightest touch. In fact, about 10 cameras flew off the screen before I could finally get one to rest at bottom center. I have adjusted the pen's sensitivity to "firm" (= max insensitivity) to stem the overreactions, but that didn't really help. And I won't even bother mentioning the difficulty I had trying the animation sequence during the tutorial. Oddly enough, the sensitivity works well for rotating the camera. Since I'd like to keep using the pen as a mouse replacement, and since reinstalling the mouse just to use TS would be too great an inconvenience, I was wondering if there were adjustments I could make with TS to make the objects less sensitive. I'd also like to get feedback from others who are using a tablet with TS. Other than the sensitivity problem, the pen works well with TS. Thanks, Milt
