- WINTAB COMPATIBLE APPLICATIONS
- ******************************
-
- When changes that affect the tablet scaling are made to the WACOM Control
- Panel those changes are saved to the default tablet context. These default
- settings are used for the desktop and for all applications that are not
- Wintab compatible.
-
- When a Wintab compatible application is launched a new tablet context is
- created. This context maintains unique tablet data for the application.
-
- Most graphics applications use the default context settings. If a Wintab
- compatible application is already open, any scaling changes that are made in
- the WACOM Control Panel will not take effect until the next time the
- application is launched.
-
- Most CAD applications (like AutoCAD and Microstation) create a custom tablet
- context. Settings in the WACOM control panel that affect tablet scaling like
- portion of tablet, one-to-one aspect, or relative positioning will not
- function while this application is in the foreground. When switching to the
- desktop the default context settings will be in effect.
-

- ******************************
- ERASER-AWARE APPLICATIONS
- ******************************
-
- Under Windows 95 the ArtPad II and ArtZ II have built-in eraser support for
- Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Word Perfect and whenever a standard edit
- text box is used such as in Notepad. To activate this support, select
- Context Aware in the Eraser Setting dialog box of the WACOM Control Panel.
-
- The following graphic applications are eraser-aware and have built-in support
- for the Erasing UltraPen:
-
- Adobe Photoshop 3.0.4 & 3.0.5
- Win 3.1 - Built in support for the eraser under Windows 3.1 is planned
- for a future release of Adobe Photoshop.
- Win 95 - Eraser support under Windows 95 requires the PRESSURE.8BX
- plug-in located in the ADOBE subdirectory. When the eraser end of
- UltraPen is placed on the tablet, Adobe Photoshop will automatically
- switch to the eraser tool.
- Win NT - Support for the Erasing UltraPen is built into Windows NT.
