On
Turns on Tablet mode. Setting the TABMODE system variable to 1 also turns
on Tablet mode. Pressing Ctrl+T on some systems turns Tablet mode on and
off.
Off
Turns off Tablet mode. Setting the
TABMODE system variable to 0 also turns
off Tablet mode. Pressing Ctrl+T on some systems turns Tablet mode on and
off.
Cal
Calibrates the digitizer with a paper drawing or photograph, creating the tablet
transformation, which is the mapping of points from the tablet to the
coordinate drawing system. Calibration is digitizing points on the drawing
and mapping them to their real coordinates.
Calibration can be performed in model space or paper space. The Cal option
turns on Tablet mode in the space in which the tablet is calibrated. When the
space is changed, the Cal option turns off Tablet mode.
The paper should be flat (with no bumps or wrinkles) and securely fastened
to the digitizing tablet. The paper can be oriented at any angle.
The points you enter cannot be duplicates. The points need not be the origin
on either axis, and you can enter as many points as you like. The more points
you enter, the more accurate the drawing will be.
