DrawingBoard VI 25
Learning the Basics
You will find that using your DrawingBoard VI tablet is as easy or easier, than using a mouse.
The DrawingBoard VI transducers are more accurate than a mouse, giving you greater control
over your movements.
Using the Transducer
The transducer 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 ½” above the Active Area. When the transducer
is in the zone above the surface of the digitizer, it is referred to as being
in prox
. The Indicator
light will go from a blinking green light to a solid green light when the transducer is in prox of,
or touching, the tablet’s surface. The in prox zone allows you to trace through materials placed
on the digitizer’s surface, such as drawing or a book. Before using the transducer, be sure that
Sleep Mode
is turned off by pressing a button, or in the case of the pen, touching the tip of the
tablet’s surface.
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 a position directly over it.
Button 0, is used as the pick, or left mouse, button. All other buttons are defined by the

Using the Pen

The functions these buttons provide are defined through the TabletWorks software, or through
your own software application.
