Capt.Marsh Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Whenever I try to draw a circle or swirl, the line starts as straight and then curves as normal. I've fiddled with settings both in-program and with my tablet's software interface (it's a One by Wacom), turned my laptop on and off, tried connecting the tablet to the computer both before and after opening the program, etc. but the problem persists no matter what I do. Is there a fix for this short of getting a replacement tablet? Attached image is a visual showing the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Hello @Capt.Marsh and welcome to the forum Perhaps you are not proficient at making straight lines free hand. I know I wouldn't be able to draw a straight line without help. Perhaps use one of the handy plugins: Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

However, my issue is a bit more than my (undoubtedly incredibly shaky) hands. When I drag my pen across my tablet, Paint.net literally won't start drawing until I get a certain distance from the point I made contact, at which instance it'll connect a straight line from there to the new point and then start drawing as normal. I wish I could give a video of this to make the point clearer, but I lack recording software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like a 'sensitivity' problem. I'm not a tablet-user, but there may be some on the forum who are, and hopefully can give you some suggestions.

Solution Lemonade Posted November 4, 2023 Solution Share Posted November 4, 2023 Hey @Capt.Marsh, under paint.net Settings > Pen & Tablet, check Windows Ink. If disabled (unchecked), I have the same issue with delay. https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/SettingsDialog.html#4.3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
