Adobe Illustrator

Adobe Illustrator CS2 supports several additional drawing pen options for the Wacom Intuos3 tablet. With the Intuous3 tablet connected, you can define not only pressure, but also settings that respond to Stylus Wheel, Tilt, Bearing, and Rotation—features available with the Intuous3 pen. Your available options will depend on the driver set you install, but the full set of available options is:

• X-axis controls left and right
• Y-axis controls up and down
• Pressure defines how the pen responds to force with which the pen is pressed on the tablet
• Tilt responds to the angle at which the pen is tilted
• Bearing responds to the direction the pen is tilted (up, down, right, left, etc.)
• Barrel Rotation responds to the orientation of the pen itself around its long axis.

Illustrator CS2 also supports Wacom tablets’ tip and eraser features.

You’ll find a special palette of brushes that match the Wacom Intuos3 tablet on the second disk of the Illustrator CS2 install set of disks. To open that palette, choose Window > Brush Libraries > Other Library, and navigate to the second Illustrator CS2 CD (or the folder on your local computer or network to which those files were copied). On the CS2 second CD, navigate to the Goodies folder, and then open the folder Wacom 6D Brushes. Choose the File 6D Art Pen Brushes.
