WORKING WITH AUTOCAD

AutoCAD for Windows can support the Intuos2 tablet as a System Pointing Device or as a Wintab Compatible Digitizer. By default, AutoCAD is configured to use Intuos2 as a System Pointing Device.

If you will be using Intuos2 with tablet menus or to digitize drawings to proper scale, you will need to follow the procedures below.

Note: To configure the Lens Cursor or Mouse for left handed use when digitizing in AutoCAD or in other programs that look at button numbers instead of the assigned button function, select the LEFT HANDED option in the PREFERENCES dialog box (accessed from the EDIT pull-down menu).

CONFIGURING FOR A WINTAB COMPATIBLE DIGITIZER

For AutoCAD Release 2000i:

1.Start AutoCAD. Open the TOOLS menu and select OPTIONS.

2.From the OPTIONS window, select the SYSTEM tab.

3.Under CURRENT POINTING DEVICE, select the Wintab compatible digitizer option.

4.Decide from which device AutoCAD will accept input. Choose an option from the ACCEPT INPUT FROM section:

•DIGITIZER ONLY. The AutoCAD drawing editor only accepts input from Intuos2.

•DIGITIZER AND MOUSE. The AutoCAD drawing editor accepts input from both Intuos2 and your mouse.

5.Click OK to close the OPTIONS window.
