Intuos and Bamboo tablet setup

For Intuos and Bamboo tablet users

Now that the tablet is connected and tracking properly, you need to set the mapping options.

Select Start > Control Panel > Wacom Tablet Properties to access the Wacom Tablet Properties window.
Select the Mapping tab.
Set the following options:
- Orientation ExpressKeys Left
- Mode Pen
- Screen Area Full
- Force Proportions check
- Tablet Area Full

The most important option to have set is Force Proportion. This ensures you are drawing proportionally. For example, with Force Proportion NOT enabled, when you try to draw a circle, it could appear as an ellipse. If for any reason the stylus does not track properly, consult Wacom Product Support Online.
