Select the MAPPING tab to define the relationship between tool movement on the tablet surface and cursor movement on the monitor screen.
By default the entire active area of the tablet maps to the entire monitor. If more than one monitor is in use the tablet will map to all monitors. See working with multiple monitors.
Image dynamically updates to illustrate the selected mapping relationship.
The ORIENTATION setting is tablet specific, and applies to all tools and applications. See configuring the tablet orientation.
MODE options control how the screen cursor moves.
•PEN MODE sets the cursor movement to correspond with the position of your pen on the tablet. Wherever you place your pen on the tablet, the cursor will jump to a corresponding point on the screen. This is known as absolute positing and is the default setting for the pen.
•MOUSE MODE enables you to move the screen cursor with a “pick up and slide” motion similar to using a standard mouse.

When FORCE PROPORTIONS is unchecked, the correct scale or proportions are not maintained. The selected tablet area is mapped to the selected display area. Drawing a circle on the tablet may create an ellipse on the display screen. This is the default setting for all tools.
When FORCE PROPORTIONS is checked, the correct vertical and horizontal proportions are maintained. Drawing a circle on the tablet results in a circle on the display screen. Depending on your settings, some portions of the tablet active area may no longer be usable when this option is selected.
Note: Although Intuos5 is optimized for use with 16 : 10 aspect ratio displays, the default settings automatically adjust for use with other aspect ratio displays.
