Shape Distortion Brushes vs. Wacom Tablets


  • Global Moderator

    The shape distortion brushes do not work when using the touch functionality of a Wacom tablet. They do work with the pen and with a separately attached mouse.

    What is the Wacom tablet model (I tried with a regular Intuos)?

    I have an Intuos Pro M.

    Are these tablet touches working in other (similar) apps?
    The problem is that if I handle these touches (instead of pressing), then the cursor position cannot be moved with the tablet.

    I tried the touch in other apps, and they require a press (on desktop).
    It could also be enabled for tablet only (and not trackpad for example), but it might have the undesired effect of dragging objects (or painting effects) on every touch.

    I am using a three-finger drag to simulate pressing and holding the mouse button while moving it: dragging with one finger moves the pointer, with two scrolls, with three drags (simulates the mouse moving while button 1 is held down).

    For most of the tools in VectorStyler (and most other apps I use) this works just fine, but for some reason it does not work with the shape distortion brushes.

    This might be a different bug: the first touch should be over a location covered by the modified object.
    This might be difficult with a three finger gesture.
    It helps if the object (or group) is selected first, by taping on it.

    Will keep the bug open and find a better solution.
