Yes, it works in my other apps like: Sketchbook Pro, Manga Studio EX5, Mischief, and Photoshop CS6.

Expecting my Encore Write any day now. Was hoping to use Xara Designer Pro on it.
It uses the new Wacom Active ES Pen as input device.
My Wacom Intuos 4 works fine with Designer Pro on my desktop.
It's possible that this new Wacom device only supports the new standard Windows 8.1 pointers API, not the old Wacom-compatible API.
DPX9 (and all versions prior to the forthcoming version 11) only talk to the old Wacom API.

I just got a reply from the folks at Xara. Here is what they said:
I am going to try this and see if it works!Hi,
Please follow these steps carefully and only make the advised changes. Making other changes to your registry could cause stability issues with your operating system.
Close all Xara programs.
Go to Start -> Run (if you're using Windows Vista, 7 or 8 press the Windows key + R) and type regedit then click OK.
Navigate to this registry key (for Designer Pro X9 32 bit): HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XtremePro\9.2\Opti ons\Dragging
(if you're using the 64 bit version of Designer Pro X9 then the registry key location is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XtremePro x64\9.2\Options\Dragging)
In the right pane, right click on the key 'EnableTouch' and select Modify.
Change the value to 0 and click OK.
Exit the regsitry and re-open Designer Pro.
Does that now work correctly for you?
Kindest regards

Thanks! When I saw it I could not resist and ordered one.
Glad to hear that it will be supported in the next version of Designer Pro. I have 10 now.
Hello Folks,
I am happy to report that the suggestion by the Xara team worked!
My Toshiba Encore2 write now works with my Xara Designer Pro X9 software.
Have fun creating!

Awesome... Thanks for the heads-up! Looking forward to having Designer Pro in a portable format.
OK problem solved. I received an email from Xara about this issue but guess I don't need to post the fix now. Glad you got it sorted out.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
