BASIC PEN OPERATIONS
Pointing and selecting:
Move the pen slightly above the Cintiq display screen to
position the screen cursor; you do not need to touch the tablet surface. The cursor
jumps to the location where you place the pen. Press the pen tip on the display
screen to make a selection.
Note:
You must calibrate the pen display tablet to correctly align the screen cursor with the
pen tip. (See
Calibrating Cintiq
on page 29.) If the screen cursor does not jump to a position
close to the pen tip when you place the pen on the display screen, then the pen tablet driver
may not be installed or is not loading. Install the pen tablet driver software if necessary.
Otherwise, see
Troubleshooting
, beginning on page 36.
Clicking:
Tap the display screen once with the pen tip, or touch the pen to the
display screen with enough pressure to register a click.
Windows tip:
You can make navigating with the pen easier by configuring Windows to select
when the pen is over an icon and to launch the icon with a single click. To turn on this feature
first open a folder.

Double-clicking:
Press the upper side switch, or quickly tap the display
screen twice in the same place with the pen tip. Double-clicking is
easier when the pen is perpendicular to the tablet screen. See the
electronic Software User’s Manual for information on fine-tuning the
double-click area.
Dragging:
Select an object, then slide the pen tip across the display screen to move
the object.
