Hi William, Just noticed that -dave was asking if you ever received a reply and I didn't see my message to your earlier. I just found it in the OUT-BASKET, so I guess it never was sent. Sorry. "What exactly do I have to do to enable pressure pen support for the CIC Handwriter tablet. The software keeps calling for a WINTAB.dll which is not provided by CIC. " I believe that we offer support for pressure sensitivity through the WINTAB.DLL file. I found one for my WACOM by GO WACOM (I think!). I believe that AutoCAD ships with one: "With a Wintab, you can use your digitizer as both a pointing device and as a Windows system pointer… You must install and set up your digitizer as a Wintab-compatible digitizer that works with Windows. For configuration information, see your Wintab digitzer documentation." The WINTAB driver is a sort of generic driver for Windows, and the fact that CIC doesn't provide one may mean that you will only be able to use your mouse. You should check with CIC to confirm this. Except for the Sprite command, the 3 tools on the same row as the Sprite command have pressure sensitive settings (the freehand tools).
