Viewbox Manual
Select and Test a Digitizer
Before using a digitizer you must configure Viewbox properly:
• Select Options | Options... to open the Options dialog box.
• Click on the Digitizing tab.
• If your digitizer appears in the Digitizers drop-down list box, select it and
click on Set As Default to make it your default digitizer. Otherwise, select
a digitizer that seems to most closely match your own, or one that you
know is emulated by your own. If you are not sure, click on Add... to
create a new digitizer entry, and enter the name of your digitizer.
• Click on Properties... The Properties dialog box will open:
• Make sure your digitizer is properly connected to the computer and is
turned on.
• Click on Start Test.
• Click with your digitizer stylus or cursor on the digitizer surface. Each
time you click you should see the X and Y coordinates change. They
should be close to zero when you click on the upper left corner of the
digitizer and increase as you click towards the lower right corner. For each
centimeter change, the coordinates should increase by approximately 100.
If the digitizer does not respond as expected, see the next section.
• Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.
