CUSTOMIZING TILT SENSITIVITY

To adjust the tilt sensitivity of your Cintiq pen, select the P

EN

 tab.  Tilt sensitivity determines how far you have 

to tilt the tool to produce the maximum tilt effect in your tilt-sensitive applications; you need to tilt the pen less 
at high sensitivity than at low sensitivity.  Like pressure sensitivity, tilt can be assigned to control brush 
characteristics.  Your tilt setting applies to both the tip and eraser of your tool.

Visit Wacom’s web site for a list of applications that currently support tilt.

USING CINTIQ WITH OTHER MONITORS

When you are working with Cintiq and additional monitors on the same system, the screen cursor movement 
on the standard monitors will depend on your system configuration.

If a second monitor is connected in mirror mode, both Cintiq and the other monitor will show the identical 
images and screen cursor movement.

If you are using Cintiq with other monitors in extended monitor mode, you have several options for navigating 
on the other monitors:

Set one of the ExpressKeys or a pen side switch to the D

ISPLAY

 T

OGGLE

 function. You can then press the 

button to toggle the screen cursor between the Cintiq pen display and your other displays.  For example, 
Cintiq can be used as a pen display (the screen cursor is positioned at the pen tip location) or toggled for 
use as a standard Wacom tablet (the screen cursor can be moved across the entire desktop or additional 
displays).  See working with Display Toggle for more information.

Set one of the pen side switches or pen display tablet ExpressKeys to M

ODE

 T

OGGLE

.  You can then 

quickly switch between P

EN

 mode for working on Cintiq and M

OUSE

 mode for working on the other 

monitors.

You can also purchase an Intuos3 tablet and use it to work on the other monitors in P

EN

 mode.  

The Cintiq pen will work on both Cintiq and the Intuos3 tablet.

Drag the slider to increase or 
decrease T

ILT

 S

ENSITIVITY

.  Then test 

your new setting in an application 
that supports tilt to be sure you are 
getting the desired effect.

Note:

 Tilt is direction sensitive and 

can be used in some applications to 
control brush orientation.

Returns the tab settings to their 
factory default conditions.
