I have the WACOM pressure sensitive stylus and puck. Much of my initial trauma in using Ani Pro was a result of the difficulty in driving the program as a whole within the constraints of a stylus. You cannot switch between puck and stylus without changing the settings. The Ctrl key is the right button and relaxing your hand (pressure) is the left (I think). I use the stylus exclusively in Ani Pro and it is quite tiring. Ali

How about (Autodesk and Yost Group pay attention too) getting the tablet and stylus to coexist with the mouse! (On different serial ports, etc.) There is a tablet driver (Virtual Tablet) that is supposed to let you do this within Microsoft Windows (I haven't tried it myself), so I suppose it is technically feasible. When you are done drawing you could lay the stylus down and pick up the mouse for selections etc. Regards, Chuck Jameson Silver Tongue Software

I've added your suggestion to the wish list. Thanks!

I use WACOM stylus/puck under Windows. I have a copy of Fractal Design Painter. Mind you the install program of FDP stuffed my Windows setup, fortunately I have setup file paranoia and on-disk copies of key config files. Ali
