>> That may have been a preference of whomever set up the tablet. The drivers allow for both Absolute and Relative in fact you can control the different areas of the tablet you want to make active and even turn the tablet around 180 degrees and configure it upside down if you want. << guess i'd better give WACOM a call and get some updates then. very greatful for this info, Murph. i also relied heavily on what the reps at the last two shows told me about these tablets… i've known about "regions" ability, but this seriously is the first i've heard of reliable absolute mode… which is crucial for my work. >> Don't misunderstand me here dave but you seem to be going out of your way to make it look as if the WACOM tablet can only be used with a cursor.. that is not how 99% of the People who buy these tablets use them. << well, let me clear the air of that as quickly as possible. my goal is to know every option at my disposal. <g> when i've spoken with reps from WACOM about my options (and had them send me drivers), i've been assured of certain modalities and capabilities which weren't there in what they sent me. if the info has changed in the last 6 months, i probably ought to get on the ball and find out what's new. >> I'm Sure they'll be At Siggraph again this year, you might want to check them out. << most definitely. sounds like they've come a long ways in one year. >> As far as the Calcomp Tablet goes I didn't like the textured surface they put on the ones I tried, It felt like I was trying to draw over tiny speed bumps. The Wacom glides nice and smooth and very quite. No SpeedBumps…<g> << <gg> yup. i agree. i usually lay down a few sheets before "traces" because of it. >> You really should check the Wacom tablets out, I'm not trying to promote them per se' I just happen to enjoy using them. << i will. not too long of a wait either. 🙂 i've checked WACOM tablets out, but i guess it time again to check WACOM tablets out. -dave
