Work in a computer shop and a guy came in that was looking for a fairly cheap, simple to use technicians graphics tablet. We have the normal ones in but he needs to draw straight lines and do engineering drawings on it and was hoping for a proper one rather then a standard one. The guy also only has the use of 1 hand.

Does anyone know of any such graphics tablet and hopefully know a uk supplier?

u mean like a Wacom tablet?

if u get one, WACOM is the best, although I use it for graphical apps and for that its perfect, donno how will it'll work with technical software these things are designed for artistic work.

google wacom

Yeah, Wacom makes the best tablets, hands down... There's a bluetooth one as well from them.

I was hoping for something more technical with built in rulers, etc, that could be used for perfect straight lines and an arm that supports the pen. It isn't something that is seriously required, just thought i might ask.

Wacom is great, if he's wanting to use it for CAD and only has the use of one hand then he needs a proper Wacom CAD tablet with swappable menu templates.

The CAD package allows drawing of straight lines with snap to grid as an aid etc.
