micnolmad Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Hi, I was trying to do some freehand drawing in pdn, but was soon frustrated with the fact that every time I lift the pen, I have to reselect the "pen". This completely hampers the creative process as focus is moved to tool selecting every second or so. I really hope I am missing a setting or using pdn the wrong way? Kind regards, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) You'll need to clarify the problem. There is no tool called a Pen tool. The tool behavior you are describing doesn't sound normal. ------------------ If you hover the mouse pointer over the tool icon, a tooltip should appear showing the correct name of the tool.

Sarkut Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 The Pencil tool shouldn't be acting in the way that you have described. Are you using a mouse, a tablet, something else? Has the Pencil acted this way from the first or is this a new development? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micnolmad Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 I can see that using the mouse the pencil tool and also the paintbrush works as intended. Must have been a driver problem with my pen. I'll give it another go and come back if there are any problems. This was some time ago I tried the freehand thing. Maybe what I remember as selecting tools was that I had to press the pen button equal to mouse1 (left mouse)to get it to draw and maybe expecting it would draw as I press the pen to the tablet... is that possible with pdn or is it a driver thing?
