Calibrating the Tablet for Tracing

To calibrate the tablet for tracing

  1. Tape the paper drawing on the tablet.
  2. At the Command prompt, enter tablet. Then enter cal.
  3. Using the pick button on the puck or stylus, pick a point on the tablet for which you know the X,Y coordinate values.

    Note: It is recommended that you hold the puck in both hands and, looking down from the top, align the puck crosshairs as accurately as possible with the specified location in the drawing. An error or inaccuracy when picking the calibration points represents a residual error throughout your work.

  4. Enter the X,Y coordinate values for the point you specified.
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
  6. Press ENTER to end the command, or repeat steps 3 and 4 to calibrate more points.

After you have calibrated the tablet, the coordinates showing on your screen should be coincident with the coordinates in the paper drawing. For more detailed information on calibration, see TABLET.
