Working with multiple tools
The Wacom Tablet control panel is designed to help you customize and keep track of your Intuos3 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 Intuos3 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, and not the custom settings of other tools, even if they are identical devices. 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.
•
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
Intuos3 tool that has been
used on the tablet.
Each Intuos3 tool has a Tool ID that makes it unique.
Any custom settings apply only to the specific tool for
which they were made. Identical Intuos3 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.
