Can i use Wacom Intous Art for corel draw x3 to x7 vector work, as I am planning to purchase one because using traditional mouse increasing my wrist pain. My main work in corelDraw is designing hoardings, Visiting cards and other promotional materials. I need feedback who work with this. And if possible please upload your working video while using pen tab. For me its a big investment and I don't want to waste my money. Please help and suggest.
Hi Sandeep,
I have been using the same Wacom Intous 2 pad for many versions including the new 2018. Works fine here. Why draw with a brick when you can use a pen.
Thanks a lot bob, I am very confused about it using with corelDraw as my main purpose is working with this software first. Your answer clears my doubt, now I will buy it soon. Thank you so much for your fast response.
Take a look at this video..Great new drawing feature.

I've used wacom Graphire, then Bamboo, and now lowest level Intuos.
When I started, I was deep into Coreldraw at the time - doing training in various places around the world. My wrist started hurting.
Foster Coburn, a top trainer, suggested getting a tablet at once. He had collaborated with another trainer named Peter McCormick to make the Official CorelDRAW guide for version 7 (not X7), back in 1997. It seems Peter was getting carpal tunnel so bad that he had trouble holding a coffee cup. Getting a tablet solved his problem.
Even at my regular job now I use a tablet just for regular windows mousing. No more carpal tunnel problems since. It will take some time to get used to a pen, but in the long run you'll prefer it for everything.
Extra things I did:

Well, because the brick is better suited to some tasks than the stylus. Actually, the first time I ever used a stylus it was for the reason as mentioned above. To save my wrist. Nowadays all of my devices are stylus enabled. But I don't try to replace the mouse with a stylus. If my wrist becomes a problem, I'm going to probably try to find one of these other types of mice with a track ball or something like that. But my point was that the mouse is certainly better at some activities than a stylus. The main reason is simple. The mouse rests on the table and the pointer becomes perfectly stationary because of that. But if you're using a stylus, you're hovering it over some target, and it is not stationary. It also typically has latency. So, it's hovering, and moving around, which makes it harder and take longer to hit a target. The same is true of moving a target to a specific position. The mouse will move it and stop in a stationary way. If you're hovering, you move your hand to the new position and stop...best you can. But it's hovering, and moving around, plus latency.
The stylus excels at drawing. The mouse excels at precision.
