Latest macOS. Pressure selected.

With the Pencil tool the stroke variation should work.
It might be that there is a regression with the Brush tool.
-
@VectorStyler It doesn't work either
-
@creative Can you make a recording of the VectorStyler screen while using the tool (with the Brush and Stroke panels opened)?
I will try to replicate the issue from there.BTW: it works here with the brush also, but you must select the brush width first with the tablet pencil (not with the mouse).
The reason for this is that VectorStyler remembers the brush/stroke settings associated with the tablet pencil.
-
@creative Also: create a single brush (or pencil) paint with the tablet, save the file and send it to me (by email or here on the forum).
In this way I can check if the variable width settings were added to the outline or not.
-
How should the pressure option behave with the brush or pencil tool?
-
@creative It should vary the stroke outline width from the current stroke width (stroke panel, or context panel) to a thin with (no pressure).
After painting with the pencil tool using the tablet, you can see in the stroke panel the non-uniform width profile.
-
If I set the stroke width to a certain value, say 20 pt, as soon as the stylus touches the tablet the value changes to 1 pt. I have tried Vectorstyler 1.1.124 and there are no problems and the pressure sensitivity works as expected. Why is the stroke width falling back in 1.2.051?

Set to 20pt using the stylus (and the keyboard).
There was a recent request to associate brush/stroke settings (including colors) with different tablet stylus.
I will add an option to disable this in the next build (in a week).

@VectorStyler How exactly do you mean? Regardless of whether I select 20 pt via the drop-down menu or type it in, the value changes to 1 pt.

I think this might be a bug, I will try to replicate it and provide a fix in the next build.

@VectorStyler The latest working build is 1.2.039, maybe that will help. On this occasion, is there anything wrong with having older MacOS (Silicon) builds installed at the same time? And would it be possible to have a menu to adjust the pressure curve of the pen?

Yes, this narrows it down. Thanks!

No, it should work find.

Is this about editing the profile width?
If so, yes, in the stroke panel, the button next to the width profile drop down will open the width curve.

@VectorStyler More something like the pressure curve in Procreate on iPad. Now the pressure sensitivity has to be adjusted within the Wacom app. Would be convenient if some adjustment would be possible within Vectostyler. Maybe some slider from soft to hard.

I will add this.
