Why does my digitizer not work the first time I go into a drawing? I have to go out then back in again? Have you ever heard of this?

Stephen – digitizer not responding? Ah, God bless Summagraphics! <g> In spite of being the most widely used and emulated graphics tablet on the market, Summas are incapable of returning to digitizer mode after you've used their mouse emulator mode in another program. This may sound like I'm yanking your chain <g>, but if you move the puck off the tablet surface when you start AutoCAD, you should be able to digitize as normal. And if you do happen to forget this little trick, and you see the "Digitizer not responding" message, instead of quitting out of the drawing, just start the PLOT command and then cancel it. This will reinitialize the digitizer a little more quickly. Dave
