Whiteboard 'Pencil' Tool

Hello,

We have a few instructors using Tablet PCs now, and they would like to use the whiteboard to draw equations, graphs, etc.  Unfortunately, the pencil tool in the whiteboard is very poor compared to annotation tools in other software packages.  There is a bit of a delay and it tries to 'fix' your handwriting which will often make it worse.  The same is true for the 'pencil' tool in Adobe Acrobat. 

The current workaround is to share Microsoft Journal or OneNote or some other drawing package, but this uses more bandwidth.  Hopefully, the turbo sharing will help with this, but we'd like to see a smoother writing whiteboard tool.

Thanks!

Re: Whiteboard 'Pencil' Tool

it sounds do-able but would essentially mean making available a setting option for the whiteboard tool that allowed the user to define the level of complexity of the vector graphic created with the pencil rather than simplifying the shape as much as possible. I'd have to agree that in a hight bandwidth meeting it would be nice to have but given the hand writing of our instructors (not quite as nice as a doctor's) the text tool is probably preferable in most cases...
