USING APPLICATIONS INTEGRATED FOR TABLET CONTROL

Some software applications may be designed to directly control ExpressKey or Touch Ring functions. When working in an application that has been integrated in this manner, the ExpressKeys or Touch Rings may perform differently than the function that is set in the Wacom Tablet control panel.

•When an ExpressKey is overridden by an application, the ExpressKey setting will automatically update, using either the new function name or “Application Defined”. Some or all of the ExpressKeys may be overridden, depending on the application.

•When an application overrides a Touch Ring, all Touch Ring functions are affected. If an application overrides only some of the available Touch Ring functions, the remaining function(s) are set to SKIP.

•An integrated application will control the ExpressKeys or Touch Rings only when that application is active and in the foreground. When you close the application or select a new application pane to work in, your Wacom Tablet control panel settings are returned to their previous state.

•To review ExpressKey, Touch Ring, or pen function settings for the current front-most application, set an ExpressKey to SHOW SETTINGS and press the key at any time.

Applications that have been integrated in this manner will typically provide you with the opportunity to opt-out or disable this functionality when first using your Wacom product with the application. See the documentation provided with your application for any specific details on functionality and how to customize or disable this feature.

If an automatic prompt or the application’s documentation do not describe how to disable this behavior, you can use the Wacom Tablet control panel to create application-specific settings that will override the behavior of the integrated application.

Important: If an application-specific setting has been created for an integrated application, setting an ExpressKey or Touch Ring function to APPLICATION DEFINED will still allow the integrated application to control the function.
