Nice to see that there are recent certified Allplan drivers for the Nvidia Quadro range of cards on the Nvidia driver download site.Īllplan v2005 - Some details are emerging of the likely new features in Allplan v2005.
(The FX4000 is just out but is too expensive to justify even for 3D CAD use at the moment). Incidentally I am using a PNY Quadro FX2000 graphics card with dual DVI outputs to drive the 2 monitors.Īnother bargain at the moment is the FX3000 card from Andy Hankins at - that arrives tomorrow and should be even faster than the FX2000. It works extremely well, but for day-to-day use it is more comfortable to just use the Cintiq on it's own - you can pull it off the desk and onto your lap :-) You then need to recalibrate the Wacom and so the pen only works within the tablet screen and you must use the mouse to access the top screen. You can then save the window layout in Allplan.
To do this with Allplan you need to stretch the top of the main window up into the 'upper' monitor - here I put the animation window and created some elevation and plan windows on the Cintiq. Just for fun I set it up in a dual monitor configuration. Running Plandesign on it is nice, but using it with Allplan is fantastic - so natural to be looking down at your work. In the meantime I was lucky to find a Wacom dealer in London (brilliant service btw) who still has a couple of these fantastic electronic 'drawing boards' at less than the original price. There is a new model coming out in February 2005 from Wacom I am told, but no-one has any information on the specification. Wacom Cintiq 18sx - Wacom have apparently discontinued the 18sx monitor/tablet (which I think is the same device that Nemetschek have been selling as the D-board along with their elegant Plandesign software).
