When an application overrides the Touch Ring, all Touch Ring modes are affected. If an
application overrides only some of the available Touch Ring functions, the remaining
mode(s) are set to Skip.
When an application overrides a Touch Strip, all Touch Strip functions are affected. If an
application overrides only some of the available Touch Strip functions, the remaining
function(s) are set to Skip.
An integrated application will control the ExpressKeys, Touch Ring or Touch Strip only
when that application is active and in the foreground. When you close that application or
select a new application pane to work in, your Wacom Tablet Properties settings are
returned to their previous state.
To review the ExpressKey, Touch Strip, Touch Ring, or pen settings for the current front-
most application, set an ExpressKey to Settings and press the key at any time.
Applications that have been integrated will typically give you an opportunity to disable this
functionality when first using your Wacom pen tablet with the application. Refer to your
application documentation for specific details how to customize or disable this feature. If that
information is not available, you can use the Wacom Tablet Properties to create application-
specific settings that will override the behavior of the integrated application.
Using multi-touch
The multi-touch features of your pen tablet or pen display enable you to interact with a computer
using only your fingertips on the surface.
You can use touch as you would on any other Mac
®
or Windows
®
device, such as phones,
trackpads, and notebooks. Touch is activated whenever you touch the tablet in the active area.
You can download the Wacom Gesture Guide for Windows and Mac from Wacom Customer
Care.
When using touch, you can usually position your fingers as far apart as is comfortable. However,
placing your fingers too closely together may be interpreted by the tablet as input from a single
finger, or the tablet may confuse which finger performed an action. Keep your fingers within the
active area.
Take care to prevent accidental touches on the tablet when making gestures. For example, if the
palm of your hand touches the active area of the tablet during while scrolling or zooming, you
may trigger an unanticipated right-click.
To enable or disable touch on Intuos models with the touch feature, use the switch located on the
top right corner of the Intuos.
Note: On tablet models that support both pen input and touch, the pen disengages touch
whenever the pen tip or eraser is within the tablet proximity range. Lift the pen and your hand
away from the tablet active area to enable touch.
