# Using precision mode

## Overview

Precision mode is a temporary modification of active area mapping to help achieve more precise strokes.

## How it works

When precision mode is activated, the active area is left alone but it is mapped to a small area on the screen where the pointer is.

While active, precision mode allows you to make LARGE strokes on the tablet that create SMALLER strokes on the monitor. This has the effect that your strokes get smoother.
