- Tip: the Replace command will import tag codes much faster than the Import command. Use the Import command only when appending a relatively small number of tag codes (less than 25k) to a tag action.
- Tip: the Delete All and Replace commands will generate a lot of empty space in the P3 database. We recommend running the Compact and Repair utility after running any of these commands to optimize the database.

WinTab Digitizer Tablets
WinTab digitizer tablets communicate to the application using an external device
driver. This tablet must be installed using the manufacturer's installation program
before it can be used with P3. This type of device cannot be connected to a multiport
controller. When a tag session is not currently open, this device may control the
mouse cursor.
Note: Only one WinTab device can be configured for a single profile.
Digitizer Tablet Property Settings
Both types of digitizer tablets have the following additional property settings:
Property Effect
Map Associates a digitizer map with this device.
Resolution
Divisor
This decimal number is used as a divisor to convert the x-
coordinate of a digitizer pen click into a length in
millimeters. ASCII tablet resolutions are usually specified
in lines-per-inch and this setting is used to divide lines-
per-inch into lines-per-millimeter. So, for example, if the
resolution is 2,540 lines-per-inch, setting the resolution
divisor to 10 would convert the x-coordinate into
millimeters (Hint: 254 millimeters per inch). WinTab
resolutions are vendor or model-specific. See the P3
Home Page web site for recommended divisor values.
Nose Stop
Extension
This number, in millimeters, is added to any length input
from the associated tablet device and is used to extend
the range of measure.
If this setting is set to a non-zero value, a "+" sign will
appear above the Length input field to indicate all lengths
