This dialog box displays when you click the Buttons button in the Digitizer Setup dialog box and provides information for choosing a digitizer button as the draw button.

Draw and close buttons are configured to prevent the inadvertent closure of a polyline/polygon due to a misinterpreted double click. Digitizer pucks have anywhere from 1 to 16 buttons.

It is best to select draw and close buttons that are different from each other. Buttons that are opposite each other are often read as the same kind of click in windows. If you have two or more buttons on your digitizer puck, you can designate which button performs each function.

If your digitizer puck has only one button, you must use it for both drawing and completing polylines and polygons. In this case, a single click enters a point when you are drawing an object. A double-click completes a polyline or polygon.

When you click the button you want to use for drawing objects, another Set Digitizer Buttons dialog box displays with information on choosing a digitizer button for completing polylines and polygons.

Extended Dialog Box

This dialog box displays when you specify the button you want to use for drawing objects in Set Digitizer Buttons Dialog Options #1. This dialog box provides information on choosing a digitizer button for completing polylines and polygons.
