Tablet menu: Tablet on

The TABLET ON command activates an installed digitizing tablet for immediate use in CC3.

Before using the TABLET ON command, the digitizer should be properly configured and calibrated.

When you are not using the tablet, be sure to turn it off with the Tablet Off command [Tablet > Tablet Off], and if possible, remove the cursor from the tablet surface. Many tablets generate samples at a very high data rate, which can slow down throughput on your system. Also, when the cursor is on the tablet, WINTAB has it and the system mouse pointer interacting, which can lead to strange results when using programs such as text editors that are unaware of the tablet.

NOTE: You can only see the Tablet menu if it is installed.
