Repeat the Tablet command but this time Calibrate your tablet.

These two points should be outside the edges of your taped down paper drawing.

When prompted about whether or not you want to respecify the screen pointing area type "Y" then pick the lower left-hand corner of your tablet overlay (where you see the heavy black circle) and then the upper right-hand corner of your tablet overlay. You have an AutoCAD tablet overlay, printed out or mylar version taped to your digitizer right? Tape the paper to the digitizer aligning the bottom edge to one of the horizontal grid lines of the tablet overlay. Take this cut out piece of paper to your digitizer and tape it to the surface. Use an Exacto knife and a steel straightedge and make your cuts parallel to the box. Cut out the 9x4 box leaving about a half inch between the cut line and the box all the way around. Therefore the upper right-hand corner coordinates are 10,5. Personally, I always use a cooridnate of 1,1 for the lower left-hand corner. Now let's assign some coordinates to two opposite corners. I hope you did not throw away your mechanical pencil and triangles. On the copy of the drawing I would hand draw a box around the stapler that is 9" by 4" as I want a little extra room to play with. I would take this drawing and make a copy of it.

And lets say the stapler is 7" long by 2.5" high and it is depicted full size. Let's say I have a 2D drawing of a side view of an ordinary stapler. What are you digitizing into AutoCAD? Is it a drawing of a house, a contour map, a double-acting air cylinder, other?
