Customize your Radial Menus with up to 512 (8 x 8 x 8) settings!

What if you could have all your shortcuts and commands at the tip of your pen? Activating the radial menu brings up a maximum of 8 commands or menus and up to two levels of sub-menus for a total of 512 places for shortcuts, commands or functions -- all at minimum movement of your pen!

• Customize all your settings by application: Application-specific settings allow you to customize your tools for use with a particular application. For example, you may prefer a firm pen tip pressure setting in one application and a soft pressure setting in another.
• Manage different settings for different tablets as well as different tools (Intuos4 comes with a Tool ID feature that recognizes each tablet, pen or mouse as a unique item)
