[TheForge] RE: Layout tools

[Chuck Robinson]

Hey Ralph,
Its an electronic pad , usually supplied with a pressure sensitive stylus, 
that allows you to draw on the pad and see what you are doing on the 
monitor. You draw right into a drawing or CAD program file. Most of the 
better programs have a smoothing routine to clean up the drawing.
I'm thinking of getting one with a 9" x 12" drawing surface to allow me to 
take photos of interesting work,. copy it on thin paper and then overlay it 
on the tablet.
Tracing the picture will solve a lot of my problems with proportional 
drawings and scale when displaying work in the GCBA news letter.
 Check out the Wacom tablets
