Pressure Sensitivity Button Missing

Hi,


Currently I have a Cintiq Companion 2 functioning as a second monitor for my desktop. I've noticed that I'm unable to utilize the pressure sensitivity feature in Animate (currently using CC 2015.2). The button to turn pressure sensitivity on and off is currently not there. I'm unsure of what to troubleshoot in order to fix this problem so any help I could get to fix this and make the pressure sensitivity appear would be appreciated.

You can use the Brush tool in Animate and enable Pressure sensitivity from the bottom of Tools Panel.

Note that these options show up only when you draw using your Pressure sensitive tablet stylus and not with mouse.

In the default setting, these options may be cut outside of your screen so make sure to expand the tools panel.

Yeah Keyframer is right that's the first step. Did it always work until a certain event? IF so, what changed? Did you update Windows? your drivers? Animate?  You could also attempt to make your Companion the main monitor and see if that changes anything.

Have you tried selecting the Brush tool and tap the stylus to the canvas? That should turn on the pressure and tilt functions.
