Digitizer Tool List Box

This list box displays the available tools from the digitizer tool library. The tool reference number and description appear in the list. Selecting a tool in the list selects its parameters for the next digitizer operation. You can change any of these tool parameters in the text fields of this dialog box before selecting the OK Button. Tool parameter changes affect only to the current operation, and are not saved in the digitizer tool library.

Tip Radius

The tip or corner radius of the digitizer.

Total Radius
