OneNote with AutoCAD "Keith Wheeler" <kwheeler[ at ]triunetechaz.com> 29.07.2006 22:58:03 I have a client using AutoCAD who wants to annotate his drawings in the field while on site using a Tablet PC. Is this possible? Are there white papers or other documentation explaining how? Thanks.

Re: OneNote with AutoCAD "Patrick Schmid" <pds-ms[ at ]nospam.pschmid.net> 30.07.2006 05:26:25 I don't know if AutoCAD supports ink or not. That would be the best option for your client. Alternatively, your client and print the drawings to OneNote (2003 or 2007) and annotate them in there. However, the problem with that is that he'll see big drawings scaled down to a normal Letter-size page and details get lost when zooming. You can give OneNote a shot, but I am really not sure how well it will work for CAD drawings. If you go with ON 2003, you'll need to get the MS Education Pack for Tablet PC. It includes the "Send to OneNote 2003" printer which lets you print to ON on a tabletPC. If you go with ON 2007, a similar printer comes in the package. If I were you, I'd test this with ON 2007 on a test machine first to see how the quality and size works for your client. With 2007, you can test this on a desktop or virtual machine. It'll show you sufficiently enough whether size & quality are appropriate for annotating.

Re: OneNote with AutoCAD "Daniel Escapa [MS]" <_null_NOTREAL[ at ]microsoft.com> 31.07.2006 20:33:43 You can still print the stuff into OneNote [ at ] a high resolution and then use the zoom feature in ON to zoom in and out. Not the best but it can give you the detail that you want. "Patrick Schmid" <pds-ms[ at ]nospam.pschmid.net> wrote in message news:evTe2i5sGHA.452[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...

What am I overlooking? Rainald P.S. You are not having the so-called "Full Page View" (F11) in mind?

Thanks a lot, Erik. Really interesting (esp. the Ctrl+Scroll way). IMO there's a design bug (pls see my reply to Patrick). Rainald

Re: OneNote with AutoCAD "Erik Sojka (MVP)" <esojka[ at ]ms-onenote.net.nospam> 02.08.2006 23:06:52 I agree, but since the zoom functionality already exists and there's no additional coding involved, adding &Zoom to the View menu seems from my non-programmer POV to be a simple addition...

Thanks Erik! To me it seems that it really coud not be a big deal. Rainald

Most people tend to find it Some dumb ones like not ;-) IMO "Zoom" would be a compulsary item in the View menu. > and the ctrl-mouse wheel is standard across _many_ apps. Yes. But it's not obvious. Apart: Another Ctrl-key-combination. What would be the equivalent for pen usage? Rainald
