Charlie Cassidy has come to my rescue. He had created a wonderful Tablet PC app, Inkyboard. Inkyboard is a simple whiteboard like app that allows you to sketch, annotate, or work over other files and then save your creations.
I used the app quite frequently to move furniture and scenery pieces on ground plans once I scanned the ground plan into my Tablet PC. I would then bring the ground plan into Inkyboard as a background make whatever changes I wanted, saving the new file into OneNote for distribution among the staff.
There was a bug that developed in 1.6 that caused the program to cease working with OneNote but the latest version fixes that like a charm. Charlie posted an updated link to the new download on Tablet PC Buzz.
Yeah Charlie! Anyway here’s a link to the Inkyboard webpage, a link to the thread on Tablet PC Buzz and here’s a direct link to the download.
