TABLET TO SCREEN MAPPING
Select the MAPPING tab to define the relationship between tool movement on the tablet surface and cursor 
movement on the monitor screen.
By default the entire active area of the tablet maps to the entire monitor. If more than one monitor is in use, 
the tablet will map to all monitors. 
MODE options control how the screen 
cursor moves. 
•P
EN MODE sets the cursor movement 
to correspond with the position of 
your pen on the tablet. Wherever you 
place your pen on the tablet, the 
cursor will jump to a corresponding 
point on the screen. This is known as 
absolute positioning and is the default 
setting for the pen.
•M
OUSE MODE enables you to move the 
screen cursor with a “pick up and 
slide” motion similar to using a 
standard mouse.

When F
ORCE PROPORTIONS is unchecked, the correct scale or proportions are not 
maintained. The selected tablet area is mapped to the selected display area. Drawing a 
circle on the tablet may create an ellipse on the display screen. This is the default setting for 
all tools.
When F
ORCE PROPORTIONS is checked, the correct vertical and horizontal proportions are 
maintained. Drawing a circle on the tablet results in a circle on the display screen. 
Depending on your settings, some portions of the tablet active area may no longer be usable 
when this option is selected.
Note:  Although Intuos is optimized for use with 16 10 aspect ratio displays, the default 
settings automatically adjust for use with other aspect ratio displays.
