New Member tarpon429 Posted March 28, 2011 New Member Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I have an intous 4 tablet. does anyone know how to program the pen to act like a RMB mouse. I would like to use the pen like a mouse to adjust the brush size/intensity on the fly. I do have my express keys programed for alt,command,ctrl, and shift. Since I am new to 3d coat any other tablet set ups that would be helpful in the program would be appreicated. Thank you Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psmith Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 In the stylus set up for Wacom, I believe you simply set the upper button to act as a Right mouse button. Greg Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Solution pavig Posted March 29, 2011 Member Solution Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 The Intuos 4 probably came with a rocker button. I have mine set with the top of it as right-mouse click, and the side closer to the nib as middle click. Under pen options I'm using click-and-tap method rather than hover-click, as it is more precise not having to fiddle with pen buttons while finessing the pen. Most people map them the other way, but I find the top rocker easier to find reliably with my fingers, and use rightmouse a lot more than middle mouse. I don't mind fishing for the other button to zoom and scroll. For keys (i am right handed so it may be more convenient to reverse) Left Side: ctrl, cmd, shift, opt/alt, pan/scroll Right Side: Display toggle, tab, escape, delete, undo With these I can do most things without taking my hand off the tablet, and having the modifiers on the left, and action keys on the right, lets me double hand to do things like alt-tab etc. Using this setup I can do 90% of my work without having to hit the keyboard for modifier keys or common commands, and the pen can duplicate most of the functions I would hit the mouse for. Oh, touch strips - I have them set up for scroll and zoom. They work with modifiers too. I may tweak this setup specifically for 3dc a bit, but it's generally good. Refinements I've been thinking of are, putting in a radial menu for the popups I use most often; eg. e-menu, color picker, brush picker, ref images panel, etc. Hope this helps.

Member Hugues Posted June 18, 2015 Member Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hi guys, just received my Wacom intuos pro tablet, i've got the basics figured out, but i did not find how to activate the zoom option with the multi touch i mean i think i should be able to zoom and rotate my part by touching my tablet with 2 fingers, but it does not work, when i slide my 2 fingers up and down, i see the Radius number change in the top ribbon menu. WHen i spread them apart, nothing happens, normal ? I'm on a Mac and my tablet preference are set to use the Zoom with this gesture...

You can find the settings in the Camera dropdown. Camera-->Customize Navigation Then make sure you have one setting that is RMB + LMB is set to Move in Screen Space.

Carlosan Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Uncheck the "Use Windows Ink" check box under the Win tablet properties. 3DC: Go to Edit > Preferences > Brushing > Tablet Interface > and select WinTab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
