In
Pen
mode, you use the pen like a regular pen, and you interact with the device as if it is your paper. Each point on the device
maps absolutely to a specific point on your monitor, and the cursor jumps to the corresponding point on your monitor when you
place your pen on the device.
If you select
Pen
mode, you can see a representation of how your device maps to your monitors on the
Mapping
tab. If you want
a different mapping than what is shown, you can change it.
1. In Wacom Tablet Properties, select your pen from the
Tool
list and then select the
Mapping
tab.
2. From Mode, select
Pen
.
By default, the active area of the device maps to your entire monitor. If you are using more than one monitor, the
device maps to all monitors.
CAUTION
: If you change the display properties in your computer's display menu, you are also changing the
mapping on this tab.
3. From
Screen Area
, select which part of your monitor that you want the device to map to:
Select
Full
if you want to map to the entire area of the monitors connected to your computer.
Select
Portion
if you want to define a section of your monitor to map to. Select the section in any of the following
ways:
Under
Drag Handles
, drag the corners of the red border to define the screen area that you want to map to.
Select
Click to Define
and use your cursor to select the screen area that you want to map to.
Enter Coordinates
in pixels.
Select a
Monitor
if you want to map to the entire area of a single monitor.
4. From
Tablet Area
, select which part of your device that you want mapped to the
Screen Area
you selected.
The options are similar to the
Screen Area
options.
5. Select
Force Proportions
if you want the vertical and horizontal proportions to be the same on your device as on your
monitors.
If you select
Force Proportions
and draw a circle on the device, it displays as a circle on the screen, but a portion
of the device active area may no longer be usable.
If you do not select
Force Proportions
and draw a circle on the device, it might display as an ellipse on the screen.
Tip
: To help you decide which setting to select, watch the red borders of the image on this tab while selecting and
unselecting
Force Proportions
to see how it affects mapping.
