ericodl Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hello dear Forum, I tried to draw with my Wacom Intuos 4 in Affinity Designer unsing the pencil tool in the software. The problem is that it is always drawing a staight line, even if I draw curved lines, using my pencil from my Wacom tablet. If I draw with my mouse/cursor, everything works fine. I also have Affinity Photo. There is no problem neither with my tablet nor with my mouse. Everything works nicely. I think it must be a setting issue but I can't find out what I have to click on. Would be awesome to get some fast answers, so I can start working today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Leigh Posted April 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 13, 2019 Thanks for confirming. What happens if you go into the Pixel Persona and use the Paint Brush? Does Affinity Photo work correctly when using the Paint Brush? In Preferences > Performance, what do you have selected under Display?

As described, Affinity Photo works perfect. // Edit: uploaded correct image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Leigh Posted April 15, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 15, 2019 Thanks for the screenshots. If you go to Preferences > Tools, can you try toggling High precision tablet input (experimental) to see if that improves things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to set High precision tablet input (experimental) off! Thank you so much for your patience :) Hope this thread might help some other people trying to fix the same problem I had!

StuartRc Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Not sure this will help but... I have also had the exact same issue on numerous occasions; (It has been reported a couple of times in the forum)...It occurs in AD 1.6 and AD 1.7 beta... I initially thought that this was a bug in AD/AP but when I watched this video over the weekend I am not so sure. (Video Link)... With the issue occasionally re-occurring; where the Wacom simply stops responding to movement and resorts to drawing straight lines (AD1.7 Beta)..really annoying but still... Previously I would close the App and re-open it with the issue gone..but I have also found that 'toggling' the settings (clicking on app icon or adjusting sliders) within the driver/pen properties; and/or adding the Wacom Apps directly to the application tablet properties (something I do not normally do) can fix the issue without closing AD or AP.... NB I disabled Windows Windows Pen and ink completely(hopefully!)...The issue that caught me out here was the fact that it's not simply a matter of disabling the check-boxes but also setting the values in associated dropDowns to 'nothing' Quote Affinity Version 1 (10.6) Affinity Version 2.5.6.2887 All (Designer | Photo | Publisher) Beta; 2.6.0.2950 OS:Windows 10 Pro 22H2 OS Build 19045.4412+ Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19056.1000.0 Rig:AMD FX 8350 and AMD Radeon (R9 380 Series) Settings Version 21.04.01 Radeon Settings Version 2020 20.1.03) + Wacom Intuous 4M with driver 6.3.41-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
