# Anchoring your Drawpad to a physical surface

If you use a Logitech MX Ink stylus and a Meta Quest headset, you can anchor your Drawpad to a physical surface. For example, you can align your Drawpad with the surface of your desk or a wall, and lock it in place. This alignment of digital Drawpad and physical surface allows you to draw naturally on the surface using the MX Ink stylus' pressure-sensitive nib, creating a natural and precise drawing experience with tactile feedback.

To anchor your Drawpad, you tap three points on a surface to define three corners of a rectangle. The ENGAGE application provides you with step-by-step instructions that guide you through the process.

To anchor your Drawpad to a physical surface, complete the following steps:

1. Open your Drawpad.
2. In the lower-left corner of your Drawpad, select the menu button, and then select **Settings**.
3. In the **Settings** panel, select **Anchor to a physical surface**.
4. Follow the instructions provided in the application.

As part of the process to anchor your Drawpad, ENGAGE will turn on your headset's video cameras, so that you can see your surroundings, find the physical surface, and avoid any hazards. However, the added processing required to use the cameras can reduce the accuracy of the process. If you aren't happy with the alignment of your Drawpad, you can repeat the process in VR, with your headset's cameras turned off.

3. In the **Settings** panel, select **Unanchor Drawpad position**.
