Suggested Touch-enabled Device for Sketching with Pen Tools using a Desktop Computer

Jerry Myer Dec 13, 2017 12:02 AM

I want to use Pen Tools (SW 2018) on my desktop computer. But I am kinda old school and don't know much about touch-enabled devices and available hardware. What would I look for, or where to look, to find some kind of pad device that is simple and inexpensive that will work with SolidWorks?

[if only I could prevent it from inadvertently snapping to midpoints]

    yes, I will. I have a project in mind that just needs some artistic detail - jewelry from a 'napkin' drawing my daughter made. But it is a couple of projects down the line. And I have to figure out Pen Tools of course also. I'll post the results... Dave Bear

An iPad along with the Doceri application would work fine.
