    I received a Wacom Graphire2 tablet as a gift. How do I make it work in Xara?

    Reading the help files, I tried creating a new brush, however line width (pressure) never changes. Perhaps a mini-tut from one of you tablet users.. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

    I know the tablet works because I can use it in Photopaint fine.

    I just can't figure how to use it in Xara.

    Thanks, Mike

    I just bought a Wacom G2, and it seems to me that the pressure fuctionality is only operational in bitmap programs, but not in vector programs. I have not yet tried it with Illustrator.

    I have used it so far in Xara to draw shaped lines, and it gives more of the feel of painting with a brush or pencil than a mouse does.

    If you are using a brush, edit it under the scaling area there is a slider for pressure. Save the change. You can also make transparency respond to pressure in the Edit.

    Regular lines do not respond to pressure.
