What graphics tablets does 3DS support? Andrey

>> graphics tablets I believe that any tablet with a 4.1 ADI driver is supported in addition to those that are SummaSketch compatible. However, because of some glitches with the use of "tablet mode", you are much better off to set up your tablet in "mouse emulation mode" for 3DS. Switch to tablet mode only when you need to digitize a shape. If you are looking to buy a tablet, also consider those with pressure sensitive stylii. Even though they give no immediate benefit in 3DS, it is very helpful if you use painting or image retouching software. – Dave

>> Are most tablets supplied with this driver? If not, where can I get it? I believe so, but just ask the manufacturer if they have an AutoDesk (or AutoCAD) ADI driver. I know Summa includes one, but I'm not sure about the many other brands.
