Long press/ contact of pencil/ stylus with screen causing object rotation in Fresco

[ttibsen]

I have come across what I consider to be a very annoying problem in Fresco. If I let the pencil remain in contact with the screen for a little too long, I find that whatever is being drawn turns into an object that you can then rotate with the pencil. As I am one that is not too quick with the pencil, I find that this happens far too frequently for my liking. Is there a way to turn this behaviour off?

Hi @ttibsen,

I understand that the behavior you're experiencing in Fresco can be frustrating. By holding your stylus or finger, you can draw, scale, rotate and refine any basic shape.

To disable this behavior in Fresco, you can follow these steps:

• Tap on the Settings icon (gear icon) in the top toolbar.
• Disable the "Touch Shortcut" option.

By disabling the Touch Shortcut, you should no longer encounter the issue where your drawings turn into rotatable objects when the pencil remains in contact with the screen for a longer duration. If this doesn't help, you can try the following steps:

• Tap on the Settings icon (gear icon) in the top toolbar.
• Tap on "App Settings"
• In the App Settings, find the "Duration" option under "Input."
• Increase the duration and see if that helps.

I hope this helps, and if you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask.

Best,

Greetings Anshul

Thanks so much for that very detailed response to my question. Having the Touch Shortcut disabled doesn't remedy the problem. You still get a snap to some sort of form (polygon, straight line, ellipse, circle) if your pencil stays in contact with the screen too long. Increasing the Duration to 1.5, the maximum setting, doesn't do the trick either. I found that the answer lies in the

Snap to Shape setting. Turning this off does solve the issue. Since I never would have come across this panel without your suggestion, I would still be at a loss. So thanks again for enabling me to peek inside this panel where the answer to my problem lay.

Well, since you asked about other questions, I have taken the liberty of
pointing you to a previous idea that I thought would be nice to see in the
