Why isn't pen rotation enabled in Illustrator for iPad? The Apple Pencil Pro 2024 has the ability to detect pen angle, but Illustrator still doesn't detect pen rotation.

Please enable ipad barrel roll illustrator in illustrator
For example, Procreate has this feature enabled

    Hello
    Will the automatic pen rotation feature that is in the new Apple Pencil 2024 be enabled in the next version of Illustrator for iPad? Should we wait? The same brush barrel roll section
    Like Procreate software

    For example, a new section has been added to Procreate, but in Illustrator we are still waiting for the brush settings to be updated and automatic brush rotation to be enabled.
