Design Software

[jcorder]

Does anyone use a graphics tablet program to draw designs in the designer instead of a mouse? Something like the Wacom graphics tablet? I just wonder if you get better control over the design software.

I know alot of people who do and will use nothing but..

I almost bought one tonight to try it, the mouse seems a bit unstable to me. Guess I will go shopping on ebay and see what I can find.

I use one. Love it! But I still use a mouse too.

what brand did you get? When I look on ebay there are a ton of them. I wonder if all are about the same.

I use an Adesso CyberTablet 12000 and luv it.

I found the Adesso tablets to be very good quality and a lot cheaper than Wacomm. I use it mostly with Corel, but it works equally well with the Designer.

If I were going to do something different, I think I'd get something a step smaller than the 9x12 tablet I have. When doing drawings, the size is relative to what you see on the screen, not the size of the tablet surface.

I see ebay has a 6in x 4 in. Too small?

That's exactly what I have!!...lol I like the 9 x 12 myself. Pretty cheap too.

Actually, you can define the area of the table relative to the screen.

Aiptek is also inexpensive and good.
