Question

Hey, I have a problem where my pen doesnt draw small objects

Objects smaller than around 4cm on screen just do not appear in animate; With a pen Animate has no trouble, but the moment I apply a pen - can only draw in big circles. 

Photoshop, in contrary, is just fine, so I am wondering if there are some settings in ANimate I might have missed.

I am using Huion WH1409v2 with official drivers.

    Thanks, I've looked around a little before I posted it. I have a different tablet, Huion, not wacom, and it works perfectly in Photoshop - it's just animate that's glitching, so I still am confused of what to do.

    I'm really sorry to break the bad news, mate, but you can do nothing.

     

    Only Wacom input devices are supported. Others might work or not, but there are tens of users like you coming to these forums with similar problems - I see one post a week roughly - and no solutions.

    I have seen people report temporary success, but they never elaborate on how they achieved it.

     

    The dev team have been failing in their attempts to make Animate work with Surface pro for years now, and this is a mainstream device by Microsoft.

    I have no idea what the core of the problem is, but at the moment the only reliable way to draw in Animate is to use an Intuos or Cintiq.
