when i last used a digitizer for drawing (shapes/letters on signage vinyl to be 
cut with a knife plotter), the digitizer we used could be configured with an 
area for drawing and another area for access to the menus for changing the 
options... but we didn't do that... instead we used the digitizer like a common 
mouse. the pointer never had problems accessing any of the menus in the 
application... where ever the stylus went, the on-screen pointer went... we even 
stopped using and removed the mice on the workstations that had digitizers 
because they did the same thing and those users just used the digitizer for all 
mousing around... it didn't matter if it was in autocad or some other signage 
related drafting program or outlook or AOL or prodigy or whatever... the 
digitizer was just a different mouse...

i cannot say that i've ever heard of one but i haven't used a digitizer in at 
least 20 years... to me it is still just a different type of mouse...
