[SML] Vectorworks and AutoCAD

[Jerry Durand]

I loved my digitizer, besides all the buttons on the puck there was a 
whole table of macros predefined on the tablet.

When they migrated from DOS to Windows the digitizers went away.  It 
wasn't long after that I traded in my AutoCAD disks for TurboCAD. If I 
HAD to use a mouse (actually trackball, I don't use mice), then I was 
going with cheaper software.

But, it's like every "upgrade" now, more flashy graphics, less work 
getting done.  I just tried the latest TurboCAD (2017 Pro) and had to 
turn OFF the RED advanced graphics accelerator, it kept leaving junk on 
the screen, flickering, taking forever to load, etc.  I had to go back 
to the generic interface.

TC 2015, however, works just fine with my Radeon GPU and the RED DSK driver.
