When I was doing a lot of Cad work I had a tablet and a puck. I don’t think they make the Summagraphic any more. I did a search on Amazon they sell some graphics drawing tablets that came up on the search. I wonder if they could be used for digtizing a paper design?
Bill,
I had to respond to your response, my first job when I got out of the military was with an up and coming company called Summagraphics in Fairfield,CT back in 1976. Had to throw that out there.

Yeah, I was very sad when my Wacom tracing puck quit working on contemporary tablets.
These days I just take a photo against a grid and place it on a background layer and re-draw.
Well I ordered and using the tablet as above a HUION WH1409. So far the only decent affordable program I have found to use is InkScape. There I can trace a part, scale as needed and SAVE AS a eps file. I would like to use DXF but that does not work great. The Extension I found on Big Blue Saw does not work either. Maybe the version of Inkscape I have is too new. Another annoying thing I want to work in Inches but there is not an easy way to make the default startup file default to Inches. Any other graphics program I have used its just Save Preferences, not Inkscape and if there is one its been changed in the next version so it won't work!!Quote:

I forgot one important thing. I can use both the mouse and the pen at the same time. The pen is wireless and the mouse is wireless to USB. All I do is move the mouse out of range and move the pen to the pad and draw. Slick.
I know one person on here is involved with digitizer that is still available.

Yes those people must of paid google a lot to get on the Search index. It comes up all the time and the software alone is $3500. Trust me I have used $3500 plus software and this in not in that class.
I have large Logic Group tablet. It is good for what it is. It has saved me a ton of time.
I knew a bunch of the Suma team starting in early 80's. Tony Joyce, Dave Pruner, Rick Thompson & a whole bunch more.
I am amazed at the results , and its very simple. No cad required and quick, use it all the time
