Hello, my new laptop (Lenovo Yoga 9i) has an AES 2.0 Wacom digitizer, however the option "Wacom device (WinTab)" doesnt work: pen position is tracked, but nothing is drawn as if pen contact was not detected. Switching to "Microsoft Ink device" works, but tilt detection is jumpy (I see this from hovering) I also updated the drivers to the latest Wacom Feel, with no change.

I forgot to mention: I tested both Rebelle 3.2.5 and the 4.0.5 demo.

Hi [USER=40033]@ousia[/USER], in Rebelle 4, please follow the instructions mentioned here: [URL]https://www.escapemotions.com/community/forum/t/1176/rebelle-4-does-not-recognize-my-stylus-on-canvas-why[/URL] Does your stylus work well in Rebelle 4 now?

Hi, thanks for the tip. My Wacom-based stylus kind of works now, with tilt correctly reflected by the pointer. However, as soon as I touch the screen a mark is made, even with minimal pressure. This is especially evident with the flat brush. Then I make a stroke and pressure correctly starts from 0.

Same result also with the integrated pen which is AES 1.0 and doesn't support tilt. Also, changing the pen sensitivity parameter from preferences has no effect.

Hi [USER=40033]@ousia[/USER], I am glad the workaround fixed your issue. So you say you are able to use the proper pen pressure in Rebelle 4? Could you please send us the log file with more events? Here's how: 1. Please, run Rebelle 4, then go to the [i]'Main Menu > Help > Show Library Folder...'[/i] which opens a file explorer window. Go inside the 'Log' folder there. 2. Close Rebelle, but keep the file explorer window opened. 3. Now, run Rebelle 4 with the 'run_log_tablet.bat' file included in your Rebelle 4 installation. It should be in '[i]C:\Program Files\Rebelle 4\run_log_tablet.bat[/i]'. For this session, Rebelle will log all tablet events. 4. Please reproduce the issue, quote: "[i]However, as soon as I touch the screen a mark is made, even with minimal pressure. This is especially evident with the flat brush. Then I make a stroke and pressure correctly starts from 0." [/i] Paint a few strokes with the pen. 5. Close Rebelle. 6. In the file explorer window, in the 'Log' folder, there is an '[b]app.log[/b]' file. Please, send it to us.
