Release14 digitizer problems

[Ronald L. Rider]

I have recently upgraded from r12 tor14 and I'm having difficulty
with my summagraphics sketch III. I keep getting digitizer analog
cuircitry errors when I start r14. On occasions, I get fatal errors
when starting r14. I still have r12 installed until I upgrade other
software configured for r12. Could there be a communications port problem?
I have installed the updated drivers from Calcomp, but
this doesn't cure the problem. I am now having problems using the
r12 template. The configuration is still there, but I'm unable to use
the template. I'm about to lose it after trying for the last few days of
addressing this problem. If anyone can give me some help, I would
certainly use it.

Thanks,
Ronald L.

In R14 make sure that your tablet is configured for the "wintab compatible
driver by autodesk." If you are still having an issue try setting the
driver for the tablet to be "current system pointing device" and see if you
get the same fatal exception error message. If you do the issue may be
with AutoCAD itself.

In R12 you might trying reloading your MNU file that contains the
programming for your template. Just type MENU at the command prompt and
choose the mnu file you wish to load.

hope this helps,

Hi,

What cpu are you using? I've heard of problems with Pentium Pros and
particularly with dual processors in NT.

Are you using the Wintab driver selection in R14?

Maybe, do you have a modem on com3? Com 1 and Com 3 share interrupts as do 2
and 4.

Not sure I understand. Do you get the wrong command or no command? The
template for R14 is different. To be the same as R12, you must replace the
tablet section from TABLET1 to TABLET4 end from R12 to the standard R14 menu.

If you get no commands, try a tablet cfg. It also could be a corrupt
acad14.cfg. You can either delete it and reconfigure or set yout pointer to
Current System. Apply and quit Acad. Restart and select the Wintab driver for
Pointer. Then do Tablet Cfg.

If it's really a hardware problem, you could use a mouse with Visual Tablet
and pick your tablet commands from on-screen pop-up icons.
