Jeremy Hubbell:
The solution to the driver problem is to install the 1989 driver that Summa
shipped with the Summasketch Plus in that year. The driver works very well with
the following software:
Micrografix Designer Version 3 & 4
Aldus Gallery
Microsoft Word v.1 & Up
Microsoft Excel v.3 & Up
Visual Reality v.1
Autocad Light for Windows
Professional Draw v.1
Adobe Illustrator 4 for Windows
Windows 3, 3.1 & WFW 3.11
Canvas for Windows
Corel Draw (all versions)
The only programs that this old driver does not work with is Photoshop for
Windos v.3 & Fauve Matisse. In order to use these programs I will have to
re-install the Wintab Driver. The above driver is not a Wintab driver, it was
written before Windows came to the masses.
What I resent is that no one is recognizing the problem nor are they doing
something about it. Otherwise, Autocad, with its resources, would have released
a fix. Summagraphics doesn't care. I notified them of this problem when I
upgraded in June. Fauve Matisse was notified and did research and notified me
that indeed, their software was not compatible with the new Wintab driver and
it would be corrected in their new release in October of this year. My point is
that in order to use Animator with the Wintab driver am I going to have to wait
until version 2 of Animator comes out?
I was in retailing for 20 years and customers always let me know when I had
made a bad purchase of a product that I was re-selling to them. I always
immediately corrected the error. Is it too much to ask that Autodesk, who is
acknowledged as a leader, get their collective posterior in gear? You didn't
answer the question as to why Autocad Light works with the Wintab driver and
Autocad Animator does not.
