Preset settings groups

Preset settings groups are a library of settings groups that allow you to quickly change the actions assigned to a group of ExpressKeys or to a Dial. You can use Wacom’s predefined groups, or easily save any of your custom settings as a new Preset settings group. With Preset settings groups, you can:

• Design a single Preset settings group that can easily be applied to multiple applications when creating Application-specific settings for your ExpressKeys and Dial.
• Quickly change between Preset settings groups designed for specific workflows (color editing, drawing, painting, etc.) when working in an application.
• Easily switch all of the ExpressKeys or Dial settings from one side to the other (applies to Intuos Pro M and L only).
