WORKING WITH MULTIPLE TOOLS

The Wacom Tablet control panel is designed to help you customize and keep track of your Cintiq tool 
settings.  The tool you use to open the control panel is automatically selected, and the appropriate tabs for 
that tool are displayed.

To add a tool to the control panel’s T

OOL

 list,

 simply use the tool on your Cintiq pen display tablet.

When a new tool is placed on the tablet for the first time, it will function with the appropriate default 
settings for that tool.  If the Wacom Tablet control panel is open, the tool is automatically added to the 
T

OOL

 list and you can customize the tool by changing the tab settings.

If a similar tool was previously added, the new tool will inherit the settings of the previously added tool. 
These settings can then be customized for the newly added tool.

When you select a tool that you have added to the T

OOL

 list, the appropriate tab settings for that tool are 

displayed.  Any changes you make to the tab settings will then apply to that tool.  Your changes take 
effect immediately.

To remove a selected tool from the T

OOL

 list,

 click on the T

OOL

 list’s [ – ] button.  In the dialog box that 

appears, click D

ELETE

 to confirm your selection.  The selected tool is removed from the list, along with any 

custom settings you may have created for it.  (A removed tool can be added back to the T

OOL

 list by placing 

it back onto the tablet.)

Note:

 The F

UNCTIONS

 icon cannot be removed from the T

OOL

 list.

The T

OOL

 list displays an 

icon for the tablet 
F

UNCTIONS

 and for each 

Cintiq input tool that has 
been used on the tablet.

Each Cintiq input tool has a Tool ID that makes it unique.  Any custom 
settings apply only to the specific tool for which they were made.  
Identical Cintiq input tools will appear as numbered devices.  
The selected tool is highlighted.

Removes the 
selected tool.  
The F

UNCTIONS

 

icon cannot be 
deleted.  
The button is 
inactive when there 
is only one item in 
the list.

If application-specific 
settings have not been 
added, the A

LL

 icon is 

displayed and the tool 
settings apply to all 
applications. 

Tab settings apply only to the 
selected tool and application.

Tip:

 You can give each tool a different name by double-clicking on the tool’s 

icon and entering a new name.  For example, “Drawing Pen” or “Paint Brush”.  
You cannot rename the F

UNCTIONS

 icon.

Other supported tools, such as the Airbrush or Art Pen, will appear in the 
T

OOL

 list with their respective names.  When you use a supported tool on the 

pen display tablet, the control panel automatically updates the corresponding 
tab options.
