The Resurrection of the Digitizing Tablet
Summasketch III
I use to run one of those with the 16 button cursor. I had the button functions memorized, I never looked at the cursor when drafting. And what I didn't have programmed, I had created LISP commands for, & was typing those left handed while running the tablet with my right. I was using ACAD 11 (DOS), one of my favorite versions. I still have the diskettes here somewhere, about 15-20 if I remember correctly.
The price tag?
Oh, that would be around 15 to 18 g's. We needed a new
copy machine so we bought one that would scan an 11x17. It also has a finsher that was extra, but ours was a demo and cost about 10 g's.
I use tnris to digitize contours from quad sheets and get other free data from.
I don't know what software package you use, but my seat of carlso 2008 with acad oem engine cost 1500, it's more
lime 3000 now, but I only pay upgrade fees, which are voluntary as you can see since I'm not running 2010.
The county clerk has a 24x36 scanner that costs
me 5 bucks per scan and she
emails me
the file.

Okay, so you'd have to cut up a map into 11x17 pieces to scan it? What do you do, stitch the scanned images together digitally?
