Starting the Program

The address for our pool table is http://cuetable.com/P/

The address for our billiard table is http://cuetable.com/C/

You might want to bookmark these for easy access at a later time.

If you open a url that was generated before, the software will take a few seconds to decode the data for display.

Scaling the Software

Once the software is open, resize the browser window to a desired size. CueTable is made to scale up to 100% of the window so you can obtain the maximum viewing area possible.

System Set-Up

If you have trouble opening the table, please check our Technical Page to make sure your browser has been properly set up.

Mouse Terminology

When you are using a computer mouse:

Shift-Click: hold down shift key while clicking the mouse
Control-Click
: hold down control key while clicking the mouse (for PC users)
Command-Click: hold down control key while clicking the mouse (for Mac users)
Double-Click: having two mouse clicks with very short intervals in between the clicks
Click+Drag: click an hold the mouse down on an item and move it to another location

Function Buttons

Throughout our tutorial, you will see small tags like this many times:

cuetable Tools <tab>

This is one of the CueTable functions. As shown here with its icon, name and associated hotkey. In the software, as you place the mouse over the button, its name and hotkey will show up in a small pop-up window as well.

Help <?>

If you want to check our tutorial page anytime when using CueTable, click on Help <?> at the lower left of the table graphic.

Hotkeys

A hotkey is a keyboard shortcut to trigger functions. For example, go to the table and press <tab > and you will see a row of button showing up. In this case, <tab > is the hotkey for Tools function. The HotKey function is case sensitive, pressing upper cased <Q> is very different from pressing lower cased <q>.

*Make sure the caps lock is always off.
