The nodes in the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor are labeled Tablet
Menu 1 through Tablet Menu 4 and define the macros associated with tablet
selections.
The tablet menu areas that you define with the Cfg option of the TABLET
command are divided into equal-sized menu selection boxes, which are
determined by the number of columns and rows you specify in each area.
These tablet menu selection boxes correspond directly with the lines that
follow the Tablet section labels from left to right and top to bottom (whether
or not they contain text).
For example, if you configure a menu area for five columns and four rows,
the command on the line immediately following the Row label corresponds
to the left-most selection box in the top row. The program can recognize up
to 32,766 commands in each tablet section, which should be more than
enough for any tablet menu.
You can add your own macros to the Macros cell in the Properties pane. The
command labels in this area correspond to the 225 boxes at the top of your
tablet template (rows A through I and columns 1 through 25). You can add a
macro using standard command syntax. The following table shows the Click
mouse button properties as they appear in the Properties pane.
