Current thoughts about using Wacom Cintiq Pro with VW 2023 Architect

My name is Greg..... 

First time poster.  Current Archicad 25 user.  Transitioning to VW2023. 

I am wondering if anyone is currently using a Wacom Cintiq Pro Pen Display.  Preferably with VW 2022 or 2023.  I have been doing research into purchasing one for use with VW2023 Designer.  I am interested in hearing from those that are using one with VW.  Please share your thoughts.  Good and Bad.  Pros and Cons.  It would be awesome to see some of your work too.  If you feel comfortable sharing.

Respectfully,

If you love a Cintiq pen input on your screen ....

(I have an old Cintiq 27" and currently use it mainly upright as a

color accurate monitor only, with keyboard and mouse)

it basically works with VW.

 

The only downside that annoys me personally is the lack of a

reliable "zoom about mouse cursor" option by standard mouse

functions (key + MMB/LMB/RMB) because it is hard coded to

Scroll Wheel and there are only poor alternatives of command-

interruptive tools , which you don't have comparable feature.

(Wacom Remote's Touch Wheel is no adequate option for me

either), everything else is fine.

 

I do not have such Pen-only input zoom limitations in other

CAD or 3D Apps though.

I have an older Wacom tablet I’ve been using for years. I can’t tell you about experience for 2023, I haven’t installed  my version of 2023, but I can tell you that through 2020 it works fine.  Really helps keep my carpal tunnel syndrome under control. Very natural once you get used to it. Zoomer’s comments are on point - the mouse scrolling for zoom is something I miss.
