My digitizer doesn't work as well as it did in Dos r13. I recently converted
to windows r13 and want to use my digitizer and I keep getting a port error.
It just doesn't work well at all.
I have 19 people that would be very happy if there is a solution to this.

Todd,

Getting a digitizer to work with windows needs several items setup. I only
use Windows NT 4.0 but here is a list of requirements. I do not know if
these apply to Windows 95.

1. Use the latest version of R13 - R13 C4a. There is a patch for R13C4 on
the Autodesk website.
2. Use a wintab driver. The ADI drivers do not work very well. You can
download the latest wintab drivers from the Calcomp website, or a demo of
Virtual Tablet by Digitizer Technologies from the Autodesk website.
3. If you are using NT, make sure you have Service Pack 3 installed.
4. If you use multiple sessions of Autocad, download the digifix.zip from
the Autodesk website. This program fixes the memory release problem for
multiple sessions.

You should upgrade to R14 as soon as possible. It is much faster and the
new features are very useful.

Hope this helps,

Tim Storey

Your digitizer will perform better in Acad 13 for Windows if the following
are in order:

1.) Download and install the latest Wintab driver SG95NT42.EXE from our
website at www.calcomp.com

2.) Once the tablet is working like a mouse on the desktop enter Acad 13
win

3.) Configure the digitizer for the "Wintab Compatible Driver by Autodesk"
