Tablet does not react properly on the pen input

[Nedde]

I got a huge problem that is very hard to explain, because it is not following any rules. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. And that immensly disturbs my work process.

I use Designer for drawing.
For my illustrations I use the PENCIL tool: I first draw the outlines (solid line). In between I often change thickness and pressure of the lines in the stroke panel, then go back and draw the next line. When it comes to coloring, I draw the form, then change the color, go back to draw the next form. (I think that is how drawing works, haha). And it all worked very well until some days ago!

Now, sometimes (!) after I changed the pressure of my outline or the color of my filling, the pen does not react. Same, when I undo things. Or change the tool and come back to the pencil. I have to draw once or twice the same thing, until the line appears – what disturbs my workflow, because I have to draw twice. Sometimes. Not always. And that does not make things better.

Can anybody help? Is it a bug or did I ruin something in the settings?
THANKS A LOT!

Maybe try reseting your settings using the Defaults menu or close the app completely, start it up again and double tap the screen to try some of the additional reset mechanisms.

Unfortunatly no. I went back to factory settings and afterwards reset all. The only result is, that my saved color palettes are gone now.

Hi Nedde,

I understand this happens intermittently but if possible could you provide a screen recording demonstrating this problem? Are you using an Apple Pencil at all and if so does switching to using your finger still cause this issue?

Thanks

Thank you Paul and Callum!!!!
I don’t know, what it was, but today it works again. 🤷‍♀️
I didn’t do anything since yesterday when I followed Pauls advices and also restarted the programm and the iPad twice without a change.
It was a problem for some days but disappeared suddenly. Strange.
If it comes back, I will try to record it. And yes, I use an Apple Pencil and I think it was also when I switched to enlarge the screen or so.

But first, PROBLEM SOLVED.
Sorry for bothering! And thanks for your effords!
