WORKING WITH DISPLAY TOGGLE

Display Toggle is available when working on multiple monitor systems. This feature allows you to work with your tablet on all displays or on one display at a time. See

working with multiple monitors .

After setting an ExpressKey or pen side switch to D

ISPLAY

T

OGGLE

, you can then press that button to sequentially toggle the current tablet mapping between a base mapping (the current setting from the

M APPING

tab) and other monitors. For example:

1. The entire display area of a multi-monitor system is set up for extended mode and assigned to the active area of the Intuos5 tablet.

2. Pressing a tool button to which the D ISPLAY

T

OGGLE

function has been assigned toggles the tablet mapping to the next display in sequence.

In the Wacom Tablet control panel, the D

ISPLAY

T

OGGLE

tab is automatically available when the Intuos5 tablet is installed on a multi-monitor system. This tab lets you set which monitor(s) will be included in the toggle sequence.

All monitors are selected in the toggle sequence by default.

Uncheck any monitor you want removed from the sequence.

• The base mapping is the tablet and display mapping that is

defined in the M APPING

tab.

By default, this includes all monitors unless you have defined a specific monitor as your primary monitor.

• As you toggle to the next monitor, the active tablet area is mapped to that monitor (in pen mode).

• Toggling one more time after the last selected monitor returns the system to the base mapping.

Important: When using application-specific settings with D

ISPLAY

T

OGGLE

, be sure that each customized application in the

A

PPLICATION

list (including A

LL

O

THER

) has a tool button assigned to

D

ISPLAY

T

OGGLE

. The easiest way to do this is to assign D

ISPLAY

T

OGGLE

to an ExpressKey prior to creating any application-specific settings.

Any of the following actions will return the toggle sequence to the base mapping:

• Launching a graphics application that supports pressure sensitivity.

• Logging out of or rebooting the system.

• Switching users (Fast User Switching).

• Placing the system in sleep mode.

• Changing the

M APPING

or D ISPLAY T OGGLE settings.

• Changing the resolution or number of displays on your system.

• Using the

M ODE T OGGLE ...

function.

• Selecting P

EN

M

ODE

or M

OUSE

M

ODE

from the Radial Menu

.

Tip: To toggle between monitors without including the ‘full display’ option, disable the first display on the D ISPLAY

T OGGLE tab. Then go to the M APPING tab and set the current S CREEN A REA to the first display.
