POSITIONING

To position the screen cursor, move the pen slightly above the Cintiq screen without touching the screen

surface. Press the pen tip on the screen to make a selection.

Note: Calibrating the Cintiq

ensures correct alignment of the screen cursor with the pen tip.

In Desktop Mode, if the screen cursor does not jump to a position near the pen tip when you place the pen

on the screen, the Cintiq software driver may not be installed or is not loading. Install the driver software if

necessary.

For Mobile Mode calibration, see Mobile Mode

CLICKING

Tap the screen once with the pen tip, or touch it to the screen with enough pressure to register a click.

To double click, press the upper side switch (when set to D

OUBLE CLICK), or quickly tap the screen twice in

the same place with the pen tip.

ERASING

In supported applications the pen eraser works like the eraser on a pencil. In text applications, use the

eraser to select text and then lift the eraser from the Cintiq screen to delete the text.

Visit the Wacom website to learn about applications that support the eraser. See product information

. If the

eraser is not supported in an application, you can still use it for positioning, drawing, or annotation.

DRAGGING

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

WORKING WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVITY

The pen responds to the nuance and inflection of your hand movements, enabling you to create natural-

looking pen and brush strokes within applications that support this feature.

To draw, ink, or write with pressure sensitivity, move the pen along the screen surface while applying

various amounts of pressure downward on the tip of the pen. Press hard for thick lines or dense color.

Press gently for thin lines or softer color. Some applications require that you first select a pressure-sensitive

tool from the application tool palette. To adjust tip feel, see adjusting tip feel and double-click

Visit the Wacom website to learn about applications that support pressure. See product information

DRAWING WITH TILT

The Cintiq recognizes when you tilt the pen from vertical to incline positions. Tilt can be used to control line

shape and thickness in supported applications.

Visit the Wacom website to learn about applications that support tilt. See product information
