WORKING WITH AUTOCAD
AutoCAD for Windows can support the Intuos2 tablet as a System Pointing Device or as a Wintab
Compatible Digitizer. By default, AutoCAD is configured to use Intuos2 as a System Pointing Device.
If you will be using Intuos2 with tablet menus or to digitize drawings to proper scale, you will need to follow
the procedures below.
Note: To configure the Lens Cursor or Mouse for left handed use when digitizing in AutoCAD or in other
programs that look at button numbers instead of the assigned button function, select the L
