Set the tablet up the way you want it, and then shell out of AutoCAD and
make a copy of the acad.cfg file to something like mentab.cfg. Then,
configur the tablet for digitizing and do the same to acad.cfg calling it
digtab.cfg. Write a batch file that copies the desired configuration over
the acad.cfg file and loads AutoCAD. You will have to exit AutoCAD to
reload the acad.cfg file to be safe. I would presume that you can shell out
and copy over acad.cfg, then issue a plot command (forcing AutoCAD to
re-initialize the digitizer) but I think I've heard that doing this for R11
is a no-no.

Craig,
Where's the AYA? Why can't a driver be written that will allow us to have
our menu configuration intact after doing a CFG *AND* allow us to redefine
the active area (screen pointing area) when we do a CAL, and sense which we
want based on the F10 toggle? When TABLET is ON we want our CAL and when
TABLET is off we want our CFG. Is this an impossible feat of programming? I
want it MY WAY!!

Dennis:
I *think* the Kurta driver will do something like this….

Mark,
Do you get paid to *think* <g>?
Dennis
P.S. Wish I new somebody
locally that has a
Kurta.
Dennis:
No, I get paid to *guess*. Thinking I do on my own time.
– Mark M.
Nice guess<g>

Dennis:
I don't think it's the driver that's the issue. When and if AutoCAD doesn't
have to reinitialize devices when their configuration changes, then the
problem will be solved, I believe. But, I'm only guessing… I don't know
alot about packets, digitizer coordinates, and the like.

Craig,
This irks me. I don't know of anybody on the Forum who might have the
expertise to answer this one either. Anybody?

Dennis:
Try John Sergneri…

Craig,
Have you got his CIS ID?
Dennis
Uh… which message had the original question (not that I'm a Tablet TM or
anything <g>)?

Brian,
I disremember.
