To Configure the Digitizer

You must configure the digitizer so a movement on the digitizing tablet can be recorded directly into an existing drawing file as you digitize.

To configure the digitizer

1. Click Options. In the Options dialog box, click the System tab.
2. Select your digitizer in the Current Pointing Device list.
3. Start the TABLET command, and use the CFG option to configure the tablet. Specify the fixed screen pointing area and a floating screen pointing area in a corner of your tablet area.
4. Mark the floating screen area on your tablet with a marker or piece of paper.

   When you complete the configuration, two new options appear on the status bar at the bottom of the AutoCAD Map 3D window. Tablet and FLOAT let you toggle the two modes.

Use the Options dialog box to disable the mouse while you are digitizing.

1. Click Options. In the Options dialog box, click the System tab.
2. Under Accept Input From, select Digitizer Only.
3. Click OK.

When you complete digitizing, return to the Options dialog box and select the Digitizer And Mouse option to use both input devices.
