I just purchased a Calcomp 9×6 tablet and pressure sensitive pen. I have tried to use it with Ani Pro but I can only get the tablet to work when I use it as a mouse. I can't seem to use the absolute mode. I have used the summa config on the tablet and set Ani Pro to use the summa config under the extra menu, but the cursor does not respond. Does anyone out there have some ideas? Thanx in advance, Paul Frey

<< I have used the summa config on the tablet and set Ani Pro to use the summa config under the extra menu, but the cursor does not respond>> The summa configuration has to emulate a SUMMA MM 1201 12×12 tablet. Sometimes there is a seperate emulation on other tablets to accomplish this. Sometimes the SUMMA emmulation doesn't emmulate this exact model and size correctly. If you are sure that the calcomp tablet is correctly set up to emulate the SUMMA, it is possible it just won't work. Also, since you have a pressure sensitive tablet, you probably also have a WACOM emulation mode. Try setting the tablet to emulate a WACOM and then choose the WACOM driver from the configuration menu. The WACOM is designed more for pressure sensitive devices. -Brian
