Does anybody have any experience in setting up a Calcomp DrawingBoard II to work with 3DS? I'm not having much luck in setting it up or reaching tech support. ( Not to mention the cordless pen arrived with dead batteries ..grrr) I'm strongly considering returning it for a Wacom. Ian.

Ian, My experience is….give it up, at least I couldn't get it to work. If I could return mine and get a Wacom I would. (They're alot cheaper now than when I bought m calcomp). I can even get the thing to run in pressure sensitive mode for Fractal Painter (if you've figured that out, help would be appreciated) But anyway a mouse is much better, I did get the pad to work with Playmation, a Windows 3d program, but it's just not as fast or accurate as a mouse, for me anyway. luck.

Ian- What's the problem? I've been using a Calcomp for over a year with no problems. Give me a quick run down on what you have done to this point and a little on you auto. and config. files. Carl
