Tablet PC & Revit

[jeff.95551]

Has anybody out there got any experience working with Revit on a Tablet PC? Our designer is jumping into Revit & a tablet at the same time. It's going pretty well, but working without a keyboard has some challenges of its own - no tab, ctrl, shift, etc. to make working simple, not to mention the lack of a track wheel for zooming and moving around. On the bright side, she can do screen captures straight from Revit to the sketch software and sketch just like on trace right over the drawing. Pretty amazing.

I'd love to hear about any workarounds for these challenges...

Thanks

Which tablet PC and does it have open GL. I looked a little while back and didn't see any tablet PC's with the specs to handle revit but am very interested in the same idea.

Look into using a little software program called StrokeIt which allows you to enter commands with pen gestures. I use it almost exclusively for entering commands, it's very fast once you get the hang of it. Do a search on this Forum and you will find more information on StrokeIt.
