Pen Mapping - Animate "Forgets"

Wacom pen mapping settings won't work in Adobe Animate 20.0.2, but will work for other Adobe programs (Photoshop and Illustrator). I configure the map to apply to only a portion of the tablet in the top left. This top left mapping works for other Adobe programs, as well as general OS navigation, Chrome, Spotify, etc. As soon as I enter Adobe Animate, it no longer uses the previously defined pen map. The pen acts as if the map included the tablets entire width and height.

 

I have updated Wacom drivers.

I have restarted computer.

I have unplugged/plugged tablet in.

 

Only fix: older versions of Animate (20.0)

 

Please help.

Thanks!

 

I'm using a Wacom "Inutos Art, Comic, Photo, 3D (2015) on Windows 10 Home.

    Hi mate,

     

    You have already found the solution.

     

    Stay with the older version until they fix this mess.
