Working with multiple tools
Use the Wacom Control Panel to customize and keep track of the settings for your tablet and tools. The tool you use to open the Control Panel is automatically selected, and the tabs for that tool are displayed.
- The Tool list displays an icon for the tablet functions and tools that have been used on the tablet.
- The Touch icon is available for touch-sensitive tablets. See Setting touch options.
- If application-specific settings have not been added, the All icon is displayed and the tool settings apply to all applications.
- The + and - buttons are used to add or delete selected tools. The button is inactive when there is only one item in the list. The Functions and Touch icons cannot be deleted.
To add a tool to the Tool list, simply use the tool on the pen tablet.
- When you select a tool that has been added to the Tool list, the tab settings for that tool are displayed. Any changes you make to the tab settings will then apply to the tool.
- If a similar tool has been added, the new tool will inherit the settings of that tool. These settings can then be customized for the newly added tool. Identical tools use the same settings.
To remove a selected tool from the Tool list, click on the Tool list - button. In the dialog, click Delete. The selected tool is removed from the list, along with any custom settings you may have created for it.
Changing the tablet mode (Intuos Pro)
The Intuos Pro allows you to adjust the data rate for use with different applications. For example, some handwriting recognition software requires a higher data rate, which can slow computer performance. If your recognition software does not work well, try changing the tablet mode from Standard to Recognition.
To change to Recognition Mode on the Intuos Pro:
- Double-click on the tablet icon in the Tablet list. The name of the active tablet appears in the Name box.
- Set the preferred mode:
- Choose Recognition Mode for the maximum data rate.
- Standard Mode is recommended for graphics applications.
Note: The Tablet Mode settings apply to all tools and applications.
