The next Draw or whatever upgrade will have some way of being programmed. We haven't had an upgrade since Draw Plus. The best way to do what you want is to force feed input events into the system. There are examples of this floating around, see RKM for examples of input device. This is how the Kurta Tablet does it… Good luck.. If you have any concepts for how you would like to see the programming of a CAD package work, please send me mail. We are considering the following (singlely or in combo.) 1. Message ports with command messages. 2. Support AREXX macro language. 3. Build our own language ala AutoLISP (as in AutoCAD). Let me know.

Bill (assuming it is Bill): Tried the PIXY III driver with DRAW+. It works, sorta. It does start plotting but the pen homes while down and the unit does not complete portions of the drawings. Tried to call and get some assistance but no one in technical would take the call. 73, bill
