Hello, long time reader, first time poster.
My issue;
I received a 6D art pen as a gift and i was hoping to try it out along with my dual monitor setup.

My standard setup has Photoshop Full screened on Monitor 2 with Forced Proportions when Focused, and when un-focused, Full Desktop with Forced Proportions.

With my regular Grip Pen, it works fine, when i have the 6D art pen under the exact same settings, it doesn't map to Monitor 2. depending on what is focused [desktop/photoshop/etc] it will switch [regardless of what my settings are]
I've created similar settings for other programs, and it works as expected.

I've updated to the most recent driver, but still nothing.

Thanks for any input you might have.

Try this, open up the wacom tablet software and select the art pen. Then click calibration and make sure you have the right monitor selected. Let me know if that helps.

That's what I've tried. I don't see a "Calibration" option like you said.
Under Tablet, i have Intuos 9x12 selected
Under Tool, i have Art Pen selected
Under Application i have Photoshop, selected
Under the Mapping tab, i have;
Screen Area: Monitor 2, Force Proportions,
Tablet Area, Full

The problem is when i focus Photoshop, the pen toggles to "Full" instead of "Monitor 2" and when i focus the desktop, it goes back to "Monitor 2" it's like it's applying the opposite calibrations to the paramters i am asking for.

I guess it's called mapping in Windows and Calibration in OS X. Only other thing I can suggest is to completely remove the Wacom drivers and software and reinstall them. That always seems to work in Windows.

Hey Ryoseth check out the Wacom forum. Maybe someone over there can help you.
