  Enter Coordinates for point #2: Size of tablet
  (eg.  12,12 or 36,24 or 48,36 or 60,48)

6. Hit Enter when asked for the 3rd point

*FIRST TEST

1. Draw a diagonal line by picking the lower left hand corner of the tablet then the upper right hand corner of the tablet

2. Type ID at the Command prompt
   a.) at point: type END(this will initiate the end osnap)
   b.) pick the lower left hand end of the line
   c.) it should return coordinates close to 0,0

3. Type ID at the Command prompt
   a.) at point: type END(this will initiate the end osnap)
   b.) pick the lower left hand end of the line
   c.) it should return coordinates close to the size
       of the tablet (eg. 9,6; 12,12; 48,36)

**SECOND TEST

1. On a piece of paper draw 2 lines
   (1) 6 inch vertical line
   (1) 6 inch horizontal line

2. Secure paper on the tablet

3. Trace these 2 line into AutoCAD using the Line command

If your tablet passes these two accuracy tests, your tablet is functioning properly.  The tablet only send x & y data when the pick button is pressed and released. It doesn't determine what AutoCAD will do with these coordinates.  If you are having a further calibration issues please contact Autodesk for further instructions.
