WORKING WITH DISPLAY TOGGLE
DISPLAY TOGGLE is available only on multiple monitor systems. The feature allows you to use your pen on
the interactive pen display to navigate the screen cursor to any display on your system. After setting an
ExpressKey or a pen side switch to the D
ISPLAY TOGGLE function, you can 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 screen cursor is positioned at the pen tip location, or toggled for use as a standard
Wacom tablet where the screen cursor can be moved across the entire desktop or additional displays.
When you open the Wacom Tablet control panel and Cintiq is the selected tablet, the D
ISPLAY TOGGLE tab
will be available if the system has two or more displays. The D
ISPLAY TOGGLE tab enables you to define how
the tablet mapping will be applied to each toggled display.
• When PEN DISPLAY TO DESKTOP
is selected and you press a tool
button that has been assigned
the D
ISPLAY TOGGLE function,
the screen cursor will toggle
from your Cintiq to the entire
system desktop. Pressing the
tool button a second time
returns the screen cursor to
Cintiq.
• When P
EN DISPLAY TO OTHER
DISPLAYS is selected and you
press the tool button, the
screen cursor is toggled from
your Cintiq to another active
pen display or monitor.
If additional displays are
attached to the system, the
screen cursor will toggle to
each display in turn until it
returns to the Cintiq from where
the initial toggle began.
ACTIVE AREA options enable you to determine the size of the area where
the pen is functional on the pen display. When you make a selection, the
red indicator updates to illustrate your choice.
•F
ORCE PROPORTIONS adjusts the size of the tablet’s 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 tablet 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.
•U
SE INSET AREA limits the tablet’s active area to a sizing of 6 x 8
inches. If F
ORCE PROPORTIONS is also selected, this sizing may be
less. When deselected, as much as possible of the entire tablet active
area will be used for tablet-to-display mapping.
Important: If you are using
application-specific settings
with D
ISPLAY TOGGLE, make sure
each customized application in
the A
PPLICATION list (including
A
LL OTHER) has a tool button
that is assigned to D
ISPLAY
T
OGGLE. The easiest way to do
this is to assign D
ISPLAY TOGGLE
to an ExpressKey prior to
creating any application-specific
settings.
