Cannot draw using tablet pen.

[WAYNEWIZ]

I am using a Samsung Windows 8 700T1C tablet PC which has a WACOM digitized screen.
When I use Photo and Graphic Designer 9, I can use my digitizer pen to select tools and menu items, but when I try to use it to draw ing
the freehand tool, the pencil icon appears on the screen but no lines appear !

All the other apps I have, such as Inkscape work fine. I have pressure sensivity enabled.
Drawing with the mouse works fine.

Is there a setting I am missing ? Is anyone else having a similar issue ??

Thanks in advance.

I don't have windows 8 so can't help. I know this is a stupid question, but, have you checked that you have a line and a color selected? Look at the color selector and check, if it!s blank and has only a crosshatch pattern,you don't. Also, and I'm not sure about this, but look to see that the line weight is not set to none if it is select a line weight instead.

wizard509,
I do have a line and color selected. I'm sure it is something very simple like this.
Line weight seems to default to 0.5.
Thanks for trying too help !

You can try disabling Windows Touch Support using XaReg 2 (link in my signature)
General>>Windows Touch Support

I just tried my Wacom bamboo using XP&GD9, Windows 7 and it works like it should.

Hi, This is what I see in XaReg 2.
Can't see anyway to disable touch. I tried disabling touch from the computer setup, but it made no difference.

Thanks for trying to help.

I also connected my Bamboo using XP&GD9, Windows 8 and it works fine. It just doesn't work on my expensive tablet PC

Hi waynewiz,

Try the XaReg 2 setting under the "Mouse" tab...
...FWIW, I'm using XP&GDv9 on W7 with a Wacom Bamboo & everything has been working correctly.

HTH, Colin

Hi, This is what I see in XaReg 2.

Stupid me
The option is available in the 2.5 update to be released soon (obviously the version I'm using)
Sorry about that...
