Yes, you can use your iPad as a drawing tablet for your PC. To do this, you will need to install an app such as Astropad or Duet Display on both your iPad and PC. Once the app is installed on both devices, you will be able to connect them together via Wi-Fi or USB cable and use the iPad like a drawing tablet with your PC. It’s important to note that some apps may have compatibility issues depending on what type of computer you have, so it’s best to check first before investing in any additional hardware or software.

2. Select “Show Visual Effects” and turn it on if it isn’t already enabled. This will give you the option of using the pen for handwriting recognition or drawing/inking onscreen.
3. If you want to use handwriting recognition, select “Make everything bigger” from the same menu and adjust settings as needed for optimal results with your pen input device.
4. You can also customize which actions perform when tapping or double-tapping with your pen by selecting “Pen Shortcuts” from the same menu and adjusting settings as needed for your preferences.
