    Default Does line width control shortcut work with graphics tablets?

    Is the new line width control option in v16.1 usable with pen and graphics tablets?

    Thanks.

    Thanks.
    At a guess, no. How would you emulate the Mouse Wheel and meta-keys (Ctrl & Shift)?

    i'd agree - mapping the modifier keys not a problem with a wacom that has 'express keys' but to map the wheel you would need a script... and xara does not do scripts...

    That's what I was hoping Xara would have worked out, given that many professional creatives use graphics tablets. I can't remember the last time I used a mouse!

    I guess if the modifier keys 'take-over' the scroll function and reassign it to 'scrolling' the line width it might be possible? - something i may look at...

    In case anyone was wondering, by saying this I didn't mean to insinuate that I'm a 'professional creative', just after having prolonged RSI (repetitive strain injury) from using a mouse I now almost exclusively use a pen and tablet.

    Thanks Acorn and handrawn for replies. I'll also take a look at my wacom when (if) an update is released for PGD.
