Remarks
Commands or tools that are mapped to digitizer buttons will only work when in digitizing mode. To use the digitizer puck in digitizing mode you must check the 'Enabled' check box on the Digitizer tab of the Editor Options dialog box.
When digitizing is enabled, the only tools that display a cursor on the screen when you move the puck are the sketch tools; you will not, for example, see the Edit tool cursor when it is the active tool and you are driving it from the digitizing board. For tools other than the sketch tools, you must rely on the position of the puck. Mouse events work the same for all tools. For example, when the Edit tool is the active tool, pressing the 'Left Click' button will select the feature over which the puck is positioned but looking at the screen will not show you the Edit tool's position.
