postmadesign Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I have been annoyed by this is the past, and I hoped this would be addressed in the new version: Every time after I have drawn a stroke with the brush or pixel or vector brush tool, a circle indicating the brush size pops up in the middle of the screen. This is extremely annoying and unneccesary. It distrubs the flow of drawing in the app to such a degree that I tend to avoid it altogether. Why can't we get rid of this, as it has no function whatsoever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted February 5, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2021 Hi postmadesign, This isn't a bug, and only appears after you adjust the zoom on the document. The intention is to feedback to the user the size of the currently selected brush, based on the zoom you've just chosen. With the desktop you can do this with the cursor, but unfortunately with an iPad this is not possible, so we opt to do this briefly after you modify the zoom.

So surely this must be a bug. And even if this would be intentional, why not put it in a less intrusive place? I am using the latest version of ios and the latest version of AD.

postmadesign Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Here is a small recording I made of the vector brush. The raster brushes have the exact same issue. As you can see, the indicator becomes visible regardless if I zoom or pan. RPReplay_Final1612602580.mov iuli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPReplay_Final1612602580.mov Thanks for the video - this makes issues much easier for us to understand! Are you using a Rope or Window Stabiliser with the brush? I'm getting the same behaviour with either of those enabled, but with No Stabiliser I don't see it (hence my experience earlier). postmadesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postmadesign Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 I tend to have stabilzer on, to avoid ugly hooks on the ends. I will check though, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 @Sean P I’m seeing this behaviour too with stabiliser on🙁 postmadesign 1 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Staff Sean P Posted February 8, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 8, 2021 Great! It sounds as though that is the cause of it popping up after every stroke. I'll get that passed over. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postmadesign Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 The issue is gone when I draw without stabilzer in the vector brush. The brush tool in the pixel persona also works without the stabilzer, however the pixel tool still has the same problem... I hope this can be fixed with a patch?
