WORKING WITH DISPLAY TOGGLE

A Display Toggle feature is available only on multiple monitor systems. Set an ExpressKey or pen side switch to the DISPLAY TOGGLE function. Then press that button to toggle the screen cursor between Cintiq and your other displays. For example, Cintiq can be used as a pen display where the cursor is positioned at the pen tip location, or toggled for use as a standard Wacom tablet where the cursor can be moved across the entire desktop or any display on your system.

Open the Wacom Tablet control panel and make sure Cintiq is the selected TABLET. The DISPLAY TOGGLE tab will be available if the system has two or more displays. The options on this tab define how the tablet mapping is applied to each toggled display.

•PEN DISPLAY TO DESKTOP toggles the

screen cursor from Cintiq to the entire system desktop. Press the button a second time to return the cursor to Cintiq.

•PEN DISPLAY TO OTHER DISPLAYS toggles

the screen cursor from Cintiq to another active pen display or monitor. The cursor toggles to each connected display in turn until it returns to the Cintiq from where the initial toggle began.

Important: When using application-specific settings with Display Toggle, be sure each customized application (including ALL OTHER) has a tool button to which DISPLAY TOGGLE has been assigned. The easiest way to do this is to assign DISPLAY TOGGLE to an ExpressKey before creating any application-specific settings.

ACTIVE AREA options determine the size of the area where the pen will function on the pen display.

•FORCE PROPORTIONS adjusts the size of the active area to maintain correct vertical and horizontal proportions between Cintiq and the entire desktop or newly mapped-to display. Depending on your settings, some portions of the active area may no longer be usable when this option is selected. When deselected, the correct scale or proportions are not maintained. For example, drawing a circle on the pen display may create an ellipse on a mapped-to display screen.

•USE INSET AREA limits the active area to a sizing of 6 x 8 inches. If FORCE PROPORTIONS is also selected, this sizing may be less. When deselected, as much of the active area as possible will be used for tablet-to-display mapping.

Your selection is shown by the red box in the ACTIVE AREA diagram.
