Digitizing Table

[Travis_Buchanan]

We have recently purchased a GTCO CalComp Digitizer, Drawing Board

III, Model # 34600 for use with AutoCad, and we would like to know if it is

compatible with MasterCam V8, which we are also using. I have talked to our

VAR and he told me about the C-Hook for digitizers, and he said he thought

that the digitizer C-Hook had not been upgraded for some time now. I tried

to get it to work but failed. Any information on this anyone can give us would

greatly help.

TIA,

Buzz

Hey Buzz,

Shouldn't your sig be TIAB? Anyway.

Go File, Edit, Doc, go to the C-Hooks folder and find the Digitize document. In there it outlines what tablets are supported. Your tablet should tell you what the settings need to be. You need to make Mastercam's settings the same.

Hope this helps.

I set up a Drawing Board III last week and it worked fine.

Read the Digitize.doc in the c-hooks directory file.

You will need to go thru the setup procedure for that Digitizer based on the settings in Digitize.doc

To enter the setup procedure read the PDF file that comes on the Calcomp CD.

Do not set the Digitizer as a mouse.

good luck

Hi, I finally got around to trying to hook this digitizing table up. It is the large format Drawing Board III (44x56)?. I read the digitize doc in Mastercam and I configured the table by the numbers. I removed Wintab32 from my seat of NT 4.0 and turned off the fifo under the advanced port settings. I still can't get it to communicate. Someone here said they had recently hooked one up, could you give me any advice before I loose the rest of my hair?

Thanks,

Buzz

I got this table running. I actually had it set right all along. It seems that there is a bug in the test command. It works fine but when you select test, it does not respond. Thanks for all your help and sorry it took me so long to reply.
