Chapter 6: Configuring AutoCAD Release 12 for Windows
This chapter assumes you’re using a template with AutoCAD. If you’re not using a
template, you will need to designate a rectangular area within the active area as your
screen pointing area.
Configuring the Windows Driver
1. Install the tablet Windows driver as described in Part II, Chapter 5 of this manual.
2. Fasten the AutoCAD template to the tablet.
3. Start Windows. Open the Summagraphics Control Panel and double click on the
Setup icon.
4. The Setup dialog box appears. In the Tracking Area field of the Setup dialog box,
click in the Whole Tablet and Preserve Aspect Ratio checkboxes so that there are no
checkmarks.
5. Position the screen pointer inside the black/gray box in the lower portion of the
Setup dialog box and click. This box will turn completely gray.
6. Digitize the lower left dot on the template’s screen pointing area. Next, digitize the
upper right dot on the template’s screen pointing area. When finished digitizing the
two points, click OK to close the dialog box.
Configuring AutoCAD for Windows

dropdown menu.

Arbitrate ratio buttons. Then click OK to close the dialog box and save changes.
