Dave – I and many other people are using Summasketch digitizers with Release 11 with no problems (complaints, yes, but no problems <g>). I have an old one, a Plus, that I got when I bought Release 9, but it still works. The IIs are a little better, in that they give you the option of a polled mode on configuration — this does away with the occasional jerkiness of the cursor. Are you coming from Release 10 standard or 10/386? Going to the 32-bit version takes some getting used to… one of the things you need now more than ever is lots and lots of hard disk space. I think your problem could have a very great deal to do with having 8Mb free on the partition. I don't know how big your drawings are, but AutoCAD makes swap files as it sets itself up, and they grow as you work. 8Mb would fill up pretty fast at this rate. Also, since you are locking up, those swap files are not being cleaned up; they are left on your hard drive, again, occupying space. I'd suggest making a LOT more space available to AutoCAD itself, and routing your swap file to a different partition (use CFIGPHAR), again, with lots of space, and then try Release 11 again. Dave
