Hi all
I got a wacom tablet from my boss to use with AutoCAD 2012, But I'm a newbie to the tablet.
I know how to print the tablet overlay and fix it to the tablet surface, but don't know about the menu configuration.
Is the menus will automatically assigned to the tablet overlay AutoCAD ? Or we have to create each column menus ?

Here are some links from AutoCAD help, but still I don't know to create a menu for tablet.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried following your links?

First you need to install the tablet driver (Wintab if there is no suitable driver supplied with the tablet).
Then you need to go to the menu area shown in the picture and select "Configure".
If you use the tablet overlay supplied with autocad (or a full size print out of it) and follow the calibration prompts, it should work straight away.

Note: I say "should" because it's years since I've done this.

Thank you for reply,
I've successfully configured my tablet, that means I can draw line through the tablet. But need to run the command from my computer. My question is how to assign a toolbar to the tablet surface. Because I don't want to pick the commands from my computer. In other words, I want to assign the line command to my tablet overlay icon.

Thanks again,
Sandeep kumar

If the tablet is configured (not calibrated) correctly, the large orange box in the picture relates to your screen area and picking in the small orange box (top-left of large box) starts the LINE command.
