Pointing and Selecting

Move the Grip Pen above the Cintiq display screen to position the screen cursor. The cursor jumps to the location where you place the pen (absolute positioning). Press the pen tip on the display screen to make a selection.

Note: If the screen cursor does not closely follow the pen tip, you will need to calibrate the Interactive Pen Display. (See Calibrating Cintiq on page 26.) If the screen cursor does not jump to a position close to the pen tip when you place the pen on the display screen, then the tablet driver did not load yet. In this case, refer to the online Help for troubleshooting tips. (See Learning More About Cintiq on page 27 for information on accessing the online Help.)

Clicking

Tap the display screen once with the pen tip, or touch the pen to the display screen with enough pressure to generate a mouse click.

Double-Clicking

Press the upper side switch (Windows) or lower side switch (Macintosh), or quickly tap the display screen twice in the same place with the pen tip. Double-clicking is easier when the pen is perpendicular to the tablet screen.

Tip: You can make navigating with the pen easier by configuring Windows to select when the pen is over an icon and to launch the icon with a single click. To turn on this feature:

Windows Me, 2000, or XP. Open a folder, select the Tools pull-down menu, and Folder Options.... From the General tab select the option Single-click to open an item (point to select).

Windows 98. Open a folder, select the View pull-down menu, and Folder Options....

From the General tab select the Web style option.

Dragging

Select an object, then slide the pen tip across the display screen to move the object.

Erasing

In supporting applications, the pen’s eraser works like the eraser on a pencil. In text applications, use the eraser to select text, then lift the eraser from the tablet to delete the text.
