Steven, >>SummaSketch… >>We will be shipping… >>Think twice before buying a Wacom… Many apologies if I sound a tad antagonistic here (not meaning to, really, just relating my experience). It sounds like you may work for Summa. Personally I would think twice before buying a Summa. Upon the advice of my local dealer, I bought the Summasketch II+ to use with AutoCAD, 3DStudio, and AniPro. It works fine with AutoCAD. In the middle of MANY problems with 3DS and AniPro, calls to Summa's superior customer service brought only the response "it's not our problem, call Autodesk, goodbye", who responded, "Summa needs to write a driver". Others on this forum have documented significant and similar problems with their Summa tablets. The latest drivers in 3DS release 3 are much better, but not perfect. AniPro continues to be unstable and unusable. The Summa now sits in a pile while I use the mouse and save my money for a new tablet. I would not dare sell it to someone because I would feel dishonest doing so. After feeling like I've wasted hundreds of dollars and many hours of frustration on the first Summa, you may understand why I, personally, have not been shopping for another Summa. Of course, I realize that in life very little stays constant, and the new Summa may be an excellent tablet for the money. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to buy another tablet just to see if it works. Perhaps you could expound a little on why I, and others, should "consider" another Summa.
