Tablet Support

If this option is selected, it means that the pad display is activated in the geometry area.

By default, the pad is displayed to the right border as shown below:

When working with a Tablet PC, this option is already activated. Otherwise, it is cleared.

Lets you select the action to be triggerred when double-clicking. You can choose among the following actions:

• Open option panel This action opens the Tablet Support dialog box directly in the geometry area. You can then modify your pad options without having to re-access the Tablet Support tab.
• Reframe Zooms in or out to fit all the geometry into the available space
• Center location Centers the geometry at a specific location. This lets you define the 3D point located at the center of the screen as the rotation center at the time you double-click in the pad. When this option is selected, it works as follows:
  
  • 1. Open any 3D model.
  • 2. Click the middle mouse button to center the view on a 3D object.
  • 3. Use rotation widget in the pad: the 3D model rotates around the 3D object you selected in the step 2.
  • 4. Move the 3D model so that another object is located at the center of the screen.
  • 5. Double-click any widget of the pad.
  • 6. Use the rotation widget in the pad: the 3D model rotates around the 3D object selected in step 5.
• No action Means that no action is performed when double-clicking. This can be useful, for instance, to avoid involuntary actions when manipulating the Tablet Pen.

For more information about the various viewing operations you can perform with the Tablet Pen, refer to Infrastructure User's Guide: Reference Information: Viewing Tools.

Lets you set the size of the pad using the slider. You can choose a value comprised between 1 and 15.

By default, the pad size is set to 5.

Lets you define how transparent the pad is: the higher the value, the more transparent the pad.

By default, the transparency is set to 0.

Lets you position the pad by selecting the appropriate option.

By default, the pad is located to the right part of the screen.

If this option is selected, it means that the gesture pad is activated in the geometry area. Note that the gesture pad is displayed only after clicking OK.

A gesture is a set of strokes that are used as keyboard shortcuts. The gesture pad captures the gestures you draw and translates them into keyboard shortcuts for standard commands such as Cut, Copy or Delete.

This functionality is available only when working with a Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and in that case, it is already selected.

Some gestures are already associated to standard commands:

• Delete
• Copy
• Cut.

When you draw a gesture in the gesture pad, the associated command is launched.

You can then select any symbol with the value [None] and assign it a command. Selecting a symbol opens the Command Chooser which lets you choose among a list of commands the command to be associated with the selected symbol:

You can enter a search string in the Search Filter box to restrict your search to the desired characters and find a command more quickly.

For instance, entering annotation displays only the commands containing the string "annotation" as shown below:

When finished mapping your commands, click OK to validate and close the Command Chooser then Close to close the Customize command mapping... dialog box.

Lets you define how transparent the gesture pad is: the higher the value, the more transparent the pad.

No transparency	Transparency = 60 %

Lets you position the gesture pad by selecting the appropriate option.

By default, the pad is located in the bottom-left part of the screen.
