CADopia - Customizing the pointer device buttons

You can change the functions of the buttons on your tablet pointer device (digitizer puck) with the setButton command. The default functions of the buttons differ depending on your particular digitizer. Refer to your hardware documentation for information.

The majority of digitizer users have either a 4-button puck or a 16-button puck.

 

Ca_puck4key

 

Ca_puck16key

4-button puck.

16-button puck.

To program the puck buttons

Type this command exactly as shown:

(tablet_setButton button_number "^C^C^Ccommand")

where button_number is the number of the puck button according to the diagram above, and command is the name of the command to be invoked by the button.

For example, to program button 4 to run the Line command, type

(tablet_setButton 4 "^C^C^C LINE")
