Selecting Preferences for stylus settings (PB only)


    The following appear in the Vector Paint Preferences dialog box under Stylus Options:

    Stylus Vendor (Mac OS only)

    If a tablet is installed, vendor information appears here. If the system does not detect a stylus, "No stylus detected" appears.

    Use High Res. Coordinates

    When this option is checked, data is recorded with high resolution (if supported by the stylus). This setting overrides normal mouse coordinates to use the higher resolution of the tablet, recording strokes with greater precision and subpixel accuracy.

    For other information about using your stylus with Vector Paint, see "Stylus Settings" under Selecting Brush Settings options in Effect Controls (PB only). For information about opening the Vector Paint Preferences dialog box, see Selecting viewing options (PB only).

    Note: Wacom tablets do not support High Res. Coordinates when Proportional mode is selected in the Wacom control panel.

    If you experience offset coordinates with your pen, try the following:

    • Check that screen resolution and monitor settings haven't changed.
    • If using a Wacom tablet, make sure that your tablet-mapping aspect isn't set to Proportional. Select To Fit mode or One to One mode instead.
    • Restart your system.
    • If all else fails, turn off Use High Res. Coordinates. (Subpixel accuracy will be lost, but Pressure and Eraser modes will still be available.)
