Hi everyone!

If you're a tablet user I'm sure you've wondered at some point if it's possible to use your tablet with CLO. Good news: it is!

There are just few quick things you need to do to make it work:

In CLO go to Settings > User Settings > View Controls and change it to Tablet

But how do I know which "mouse button" is what on my tablet and pen? That depends on how you have your tablet set up. You can check those settings by doing the following:

For Mac Users:

1. In your system preferences find your Tablet

2. Click on it and you'll be able to access your Tablet settings (to get to pen settings click on the Pen tab)

For Windows users:

1. Find your Tablet Properties in the start menu

2. Open it and you'll be able to access your Tablet settings (to get to pen settings click on the Pen tab)

Don't forget to share your awesome creations! :)

  We have not done specific testing with other tablets, but with the User Setting Preset options and the ability to configure the input device, it should work just fine.

  I was about to ask about tablets and their efficiency when I saw your post in the list of old posts.

  My question to the broader community is: is the tablet an improvement to speed or precision when working with CLO?

  Hello Daniele. Do you use a tablet with CLO? Curious to find out if it is better/faster.

  Hello Pablo, No, I use a desktop computer.
  I had occasion to see people use CLO on a Wacom tablet around 26" size! Not the usual dimension one think about a tablet.
  In my opinion, the size of the screen must be big to have a comfortable visual experience.
  The speed depends on the hardware. Save money in hardware when it comes 3d is not a good idea in my opinion!
  If I do backpacking, I can't complain about the hardness of the bed :)

  Can you use different Brand Tablets with the Program or only Wacom??? I couldn't find any informations about that anywhere. I just thought of buying a Huion Tablet to use this Program with it

  Hola, quisiera saber como configurar una HUION en Clo adecuadamente, ya que hay opciones que no me aparecen, o es compatible con WACOM solo? Gracias de antemano

  Hey there, does anyone has experience with setting up an XP-PEN Tablet? I had, it worked fine and now after a update I can not figure out the settings anymore to pan. I can not pan. I don't know what to do. Either reprogramming the pen keys are working, nor do I find a workable key-cpmbination in the CLO User Settings for "XP-Pen". Mac Book Pro, Big Sur — April 2021

  I found it and reply to myself : )The workaround, because reprogramming XP-Pen-Keys is not working well:

  XP-Pen (Artist Pro22) Pensettings: setting a hook at "Disable Key Funktions"
  CLO User-Settings: select X-Pen and then for "Pan": Alt + None + Right Mousebutton. It allowes me to Pan with Keyboard pressed "Ctrl" + "Alt" to Pan.

  Hi srsaeidi

  Currently CLO will not run on an ipad. The Ipads use different OS than Mac computers
