above gif shows issues i am having with all 3 drawing tools in aacc19.2:

displaced brush strokes, which may appear slight but are very hindering when animating characters.  also shows that the paint brush is creating endless strokes once tablet pen has lifted from screen.

Operating on a Cintiq Companion

Currently AnCC 19.2

19.1, 19.0, and have all shared the same issue.

Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit, OS 17763.437

Updated Wacom driver.  issue does not occur in any other cc program.  just changed my pen nib, too.

As far as I know the solution is to keep your display scaling at 100%.

This is adjusted at OS level.

It's been like 4 years, but have you found a solution to this? I'm going mad trying to figure out how to fix this.

Have you calibrated your Cintiq?

actually, something interesting about this that i found yesterday...

i can calibrate the pen screen through the Wacom Tablet settings fine, but if i set out to do it through the Windows settings, i cant even attempt to calibrate.  selecting both "Setup" and "Calibrate" here for "..."Pen" or "Touch" leads me to the crosshair calibration screen that prompts me to tap the screen, but does not respond to my touch input (pen tip or finger) despite my pen operating fine on the screen in every other application (besides AAnimate of course).  i cant even escape the crosshair calibration screen because the whole calibration window does not respond to touch input, so i have to turn the computer off.  would deleting something specific in the Device Manager window or other fix this?

Hi mate,

I remember your topic from a few days ago...

This looks terrible!

Must be maddening!

Try to also post in the Companion forums.

Have you tried different versions of Animate? Maybe even Flash CS6?

You can have multiple versions installed at the same time.

It will be good to be able to isolate the problem - whether it is all Flash / Animate versions or only the most recent ones, whether it's the Wacom driver and so on.

Anyway... you have my sympathy.

Unfortunately I'm worried that no one will be able to help you here
