ERASING WITH EASE
The eraser on the UltraPen works like the eraser on a pencil. In graphics applications that support the
UltraPen’s eraser, you can erase intuitively and naturally—without manually selecting another tool. The
eraser-aware application will automatically switch to the eraser tool.
PenPartner will also erase in some non-graphics applications; though not pressure-sensitive you can use
the eraser to select and delete text. Press to select, then at the end of the selection, lift the eraser from
the tablet to delete the selection. This is called context-aware.
Try this by opening Notepad (Windows) or SimpleText (Macintosh) and typing a few words. Then, use the
eraser to select some text. When you lift the eraser, the selected text is erased.
