ERASING
The Graphire pen eraser works like the eraser on a pencil. In graphics applications that support the pen
eraser, you can erase intuitively and naturally. When you use the pen eraser, the application will
automatically switch to the eraser tool. In applications that support pressure sensitivity, you can select
pressure-sensitive tools in an application’s tool palette to vary the width and depth of your erasures as you
change the amount of pressure you exert upon the pen.
In Microsoft Office 2007 running on Microsoft Windows Vista, you can use the eraser to erase notes or
sketches made with digital ink, and to select and delete text or spreadsheet cells within an application.
You can also use the eraser in many other standard office applications. The eraser may not be pressure
sensitive in these applications, but you can use it to select and delete text or spreadsheet cells.
EYE-HAND COORDINATION EXERCISE
This exercise is designed to retrain your eye-hand coordination for using the pen:
1. Open any graphics application. Use the line tool to draw a rectangular grid with line spacings of about
20-25 mm (3/4 to 1 inch). You can use your traditional mouse to do this.
2. Choose a free-hand tool in your application and use the pen to draw a dot at each grid intersection.
3. Draw an X at each grid intersection.
4. Now draw a circle around each intersection. Your screen should look like this:
5. Clear your screen and make a simple drawing of your own. The more you use your pen, the easier
drawing and navigation will become.
For more information on using your
eraser, see adjusting tip feel, eraser
feel, and double-click.
Visit our web site for a list of graphics
applications that support the eraser
(see product information). If the
eraser is not supported in an
application, you can still use the
eraser for navigating, drawing, and
annotation.
