Graphics Tablet Keeps Switching to Erase

[Ethan Hoover]

Hey there, I'm having an issue with my graphics tablet(Huion 1060+, in case that helps) in Affinity Designer.  Whenever I try to write with it on the canvas, it switches from whatever tool I'm using to the Eraser tool, no matter what persona I'm using.  I've tried turning off and resetting Affinity's keyboard shortcuts, resetting my tablet to defaults, restarting the program, and resetting fills, brushes, object styles, text styles, and user defaults, all to no avail.  It works fine when I use my trackpad, and it was working with the tablet earlier today.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

Hello  @Ethan Hoover,
welcome to this forum.

I assume you are using the HUION H1060P.
I assigned the button to the stylus as follows:
upper button ---  right mouse button
lower button  --- left mouse button
The shortcuts for the brush, eraser, pen etc have been assigned to the soft keys.
that works quite well.
You may also need to adjust Photo and Designer.

Have you also installed the latest driver for the tablet? ( here the Link)

I hope it helps.

 

Cheers
