Setup and use Grid panels and Radial menus

Grid panels and Radial menus are palettes that display on your pen display's screen or — for pen tablets — on your computer's display. You can assign frequently used actions to the Grid panel or Radial menu keys, then use your pen or touch (if supported) to select a key and activate its assigned action.

  1. Create your On-screen shortcut.
  2. Customize the Grid panel or Radial menu keys.
  3. Assign the Grid panel or Radial menu to a customizable component (a pen button, for example).
  4. Launch the Grid panel or Radial menu by pressing the customizable component you assigned in the previous step.
  5. Click a Grid panel or Radial menu key to activate its assigned action.

Use Pen gestures

Pen gestures allow you to pan, scroll, zoom, etc. by pressing and holding a pen button or ExpressKey and moving the pen vertically or horizontally across your device.

Note: Pen gestures are only available on select devices.
  1. Assign a Pen gesture to a pen button or an ExpressKey.
  2. Hold down the pen button or ExpressKey while moving the pen tip vertically or horizontally on your device to activate the Pen gesture action (pan, scroll, zoom, etc.).
