Learning Basic Movements
DrawingBoard IV pointing tools provide all the basic movements of a mouse. The basic
movements include clicking, double-clicking and dragging.
Clicking and Double-Clicking
Clicking is the action of making a selection. You may be selecting a key on the tablet
surface or making a selection from your computer monitor screen. To click, place the
transducer, or move the screen pointer using the transducer, to the item to be selected.
Tap the pen or press Button 0 on the cursor. A double-click requires you to quickly tap the
pen or press the button two times, while the tool remains in the same place. You can also
double-click by pressing the pen or cursor button that has been defined as a double-click
button (see TabletWorks Help).
Dragging
Dragging is the action of moving the pointing tool during a selection. To drag, click on an
object, but instead of lifting the pen tip or releasing the cursor button, hold it down while
moving the transducer, or corresponding object on the screen, to the desired new location.
Customizing the Tablet
Tailor DrawingBoard IV tablet and pointing tool to suit your individual work requirements
using TabletWorks. TabletWorks is a Windows program included with the digitizer software

to the screen area and program stylus and cursor buttons with custom macros. To learn
how to use TabletWorks, please refer to TabletWorks Help on the CD.
If you have chosen to use the optional serial interface, you will be able to customize the
tablet data format and communications parameters using the Menu Strip, described
