Calibrating the digitizer tablet

You must specify at least two points for tablet calibration. However, the more points you specify, the more accurate the transformation between the tablet and the screen points. Specifying additional points is particularly useful if you plan to trace a paper drawing that is not orthogonal, such as an aerial photograph.

To calibrate your tablet for digitizing points

1. Do one of the following:
• Choose Settings > Tablet > Calibrate.
• Type tablet, choose Calibrate, and then press Enter.
2. Click a point on the tablet to define as the first calibration point.
3. Specify a point within the IntelliCAD drawing window to correspond to the point you digitized on the tablet, or enter coordinate values in the command bar.
4. Click a point on the tablet to define as the second calibration point.

Specify a point within the IntelliCAD drawing window to correspond to the point you digitized on the tablet, or enter coordinate values in the command bar. To specify more than the two points required, click a point on the tablet to define as the third calibration point. You can enter up to 10 points.

5. Choose the transformation type, and then press Enter.
