Member madno Posted April 8, 2018 Member Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Hi, I tried using 3D-Coat with pen input on my Tablet (Vaio Z Canvas with Win 10 Creators Update). It was a mixed experience: In Tablet Mode: Strokes work but Zoom and Pan do not. In WinTab Mode: Zoom and Pan works but strokes only if pen button is pressed. Investigating the Internet revealed that: Win 10 Creators Update changed the way how pen input is interpreted. As a result there are a lot of complaints that pen devices are now crippled in their use for art work (like 3D-Coat as I wrote above). I tried with Clip Studio Paint and got issues there as well. When drawing multiple strokes it inteprets them as either "draw" or "pan" in a random fashion. The conclusion is mainly that one has to revert Windows to a state before Creators Update. The anounced new spring creators update seems to make it even worse according to the first online feedback. Does somebody know if the above is true for Wacom devices (especially the new Wacom Cintiq Pro) as well?

Advanced Member Falconius Posted April 9, 2018 Advanced Member Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 The previous creators update certainly did bork tablets including my Wacom. I had to do a clean install of the Wacom drivers and software once they got updated, and my backup settings file didn't work so I had to reset everything for the programs again. After that, including right now my tablet works fine, but I have not installed the new spring update yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I've also sent email to support. I have an Intuos 3 and my tip and right-click buttons have flipped, but only in 3DC. They work normally in other programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why we have added selection between "WinTab" and "TabletPC". The last one doesn't support gestures but in time we will implement gestures support in "TabletPC" mode similar to "WinTab" mode. For now under "Windows 10 Fall Creators Update" please enable "Edit > Preferences > Tablet Library > TabletPC". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Switching to Tablet PC solved it for me, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member madno Posted April 11, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 I reverted to Windows 10 ver. 1703 (the last before "Creators Update"). Pen in WinTab mode is now working like expected including touch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really looking forward to being able to use 3d coat on my SP4 like i used to be able to. thanks!

The video below demonstrates "3DCoat" in "Tablet PC" mode on "Surface Pro":http://pilgway.com/~sergyi/Video/3DCoat-TabletPC-Gestures.mov The build "4.8.34" with gestures will be here:https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/22364-3dcoat-48-beta-testing-thread/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 This would be great news if my laptop didn't just die. Hopefully I can get it fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
