08. CircleFrame – Introduction
This first video shows the different features that make up the CircleFrame, the drawing tools that are supplied with the CircleFrame, how it can be positioned on the TactiPad and how to use the different indicators as a basis for your drawings.
07. Compasses
The compasses are used to draw perfect circles with a radius of 3 to 10 centimeters. It consists of a base around which the arm can rotate. Along the arm there is a centimetre scale that can be used to position the drawing point, sliding it along the length of the arm. The next video shows the different components of the compasses, the way the foot can be positioned and how to draw a circle.
Important: these videos show a previous version of the TactiPad. The appearance of some components has changed in newer versions of the drawing board, yet the functionality is still the same.
06. Protractor
The protractor can be used to measure the angle between two lines. It also contains a series of circles ranging from 0,5 to 2,5 cm that can be used to draw small precise circles. The following video shows all the features of the protractor.

05. Triangle
The triangle is used to draw or measure the length of a line. In combination with the buttons on the edge of the drawing board it can be used to quickly make lines with an angle of 30, 45, 60 or 90 degrees. The next video shows how this is done in practice.

04. Ruler
The first of the drawing tools that come with the Tactipad is the ruler. The following video explains how to make perfectly straight lines of a certain length or how to draw it horizontally or vertically.

03. Frame and centimetre scale
The frame around the drawing surface contains a number of useful features that increase the precision and ease with which the drawing can be made. This video demonstrates how the buttons and centimetre scale along the frame can be used.

02. Drawing surface and German foil
The work surface of the drawing board is a rubber surface with German foil fixed on top of it. This video shows the properties of the foil and the way it is easily mounted on the TactiPad.

01. TactiPad introduction
This first video tutorial gives a general description of the TactiPad drawing board and shows an overview of the different components that will be shown in the rest of the video tutorials. They will contain more details about the use and dimensions of the drawing board itself, as well as the different drawing tools (ruler, triangle, compasses and protractor).
