Working with multiple tools
The Wacom Tablet control panel is designed to help you customize and keep track of your Cintiq 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 Cintiq interactive pen display.
•
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
Cintiq input tool that has
been used on the tablet.
Each Cintiq input tool has a Tool ID that makes it unique.
Any custom settings apply only to the specific tool for which
they were made. Identical Cintiq input 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.
Other supported tools, such as the Intuos3 Airbrush or Intuos3 Art Pen,
will appear in the T
OOL
list with their respective names. When you use a
supported tool on the pen display tablet, the control panel automatically
updates the corresponding tab options.
