with no mouse functions. In these situations, you can set up DrawingBoard IV manually via
the menu strip. Refer to the
Customizing the Tablet section.
The TabletWorks software must be installed before any Windows applications (including
AutoCAD) will be able to work properly with your DrawingBoard IV.
Learning the Basics
You will find that using DrawingBoard IV is easier than navigating with a mouse. The
tablets’ pointing tools are more accurate than a mouse giving you greater control over your
movements.
Using the Pointing Tools
The pointing tool does not need to be in contact with the tablet surface in order for the
tablet to sense its presence. It can be detected up to 1/2” above the drawing area. This
allows you to trace through materials placed on the surface, such as a drawing or a book.
Also, before using the pointing tool, be sure that
sleep mode is turned off by pressing any
button on the tool.
Using the Cursor
When you use the cursor, the intersection
point of the crosshairs on the lens identifies
the point you are selecting. The crosshairs
are etched on the bottom of the lens to
increase accuracy. For maximum precision,
look through the lens from directly over it.
Button 0 on the cursor is used as the pick
(or left mouse) button. All other buttons are
defined by the TabletWorks software or
through your own software application.
High Accuracy Cursor
To illuminate the lens area of the high accuracy cursor, press and hold any button in the far
right column (3, 7, B or F); at the same time, press and hold any button in the far left
