Wacom monitor mapping issue v20.0.1

Community Beginner ,
Dec 10, 2019 Dec 10, 2019

Copied

This is the only app that for some reason doesn't allow me to map my wacom to only one screen. When I have Animate open the wacom is mapped to both my screens even if the wacom tablet properties say otherwise.

Wacom, windows, all drivers are up to date.

 

Is this something anyone else has experienced with Animate? Super frustrating haha!

Hi mate,

 

Following this mapping saga could have been comical if it wasn't so sad.

 

They have been having very unpleasant issues with 20.0 and multi-monitor setups. You can read some of that here:   https://community.adobe.com/t5/animate/drawing-tools-brush-pencil-eraser-appearing-not-calibrated-to...

 

So it may be that you now are experiencing THE FIX, that was released only yesterday (20.0.1)

Maybe that's what they did: to not get confused about coordinates the program always reads and interacts with the whole desktop. Interesting how they managed to override the Wacom driver...

 

Maybe you can try some of the older versions and see if that works better for you.

Hey Arvind, sure.

 

I am on Windows 10 latest update, 2 screens. Main screen is a 28" Dell 4K and secondary screen is a 24" BenQ 1080. I run an RTX 2080 Super.

 

The mapping issue is pretty straightforward, only Adobe Animate is not mapped to the 28" screen, it's mapped to both screens. Whenever I click outside the application the mapping returns to only the one screen. I've been through the wacom settings etc. I've reverted to Animate v20.0 and it works fine.

Hey,

 

Guess you are using a Wacom non-display tablet. If so please change Screen Area to Monitor 1(main) in Mapping tab for All Applications.

 

Let us know if this fixes your issue?Annotation 2019-12-16 181622.png

That's the first thing I checked, since the settings you highlighted above is how I usually work anyway haha! That's what I meant in my previous comment with "I've been through the wacom settings etc."

 

Thanks anyway 😃

I'm experiencing the same issue.

 

Are there no fixes for this game breaking bug? It kinda pushes me towards using other software at this point, since i can't work.

This worked for me!

 

Just upgraded my setup from one screen to two today, was very excited until the issue in this thread happened to me, straight lines in the opposite direction of my non-tablet screen. After going to these settings it worked like magic. Very excited to get back to work!

 

For posterity, my issue showed up on a Huion tablet, and this fix worked.

Hi, yes finally a solution !!!

I could not use Animate 2020 and had ended up reinstalling the 2019 version.

This fix (in beta for now) seems to correct most of the problems.

 

Thank's

You are welcome.
As it is a Beta version you might face some stylus interaction issues over the Application. It that case you can switch back to Wintab mode until we fix the issue with the former option.

Enable "Use Windows Ink" option in Tablet settings. If Wacom you will find it under Mapping/Calibrate tab.

Same for me, the pen pressure also doesn't work  when I use Windows Ink. Disabling Windows Ink causes the screen mapping error.

 

@arvind_bv any update on when this moght be fixed?
