Pan on Fresco Desktop

Hey guys. I love love Fresco, I've been using it on my iPad Pro for a long time and was so excited to see the desktop version. I have a Wacom Cintiq 16 and it is smooth as butter to draw in Fresco, however I can't figure out how to pan around the document. I looked in the app settings and I can only find how to pan with finger gestures which my Cintiq doesn't have.

The canvas isn't centered on the board it's off to the left, and I can't find any info on how to pan with the mouse or a keyboard shortcut. I can use the MMB to zoom on the document, but without panning it's just zooming on the corner. Pressing and holding MMB draws on the canvas.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi Apple.

Glad you're loving Fresco.

Unfortunately, right now there is currently no easy way to pan. The team is working on adding stylus support for this functionality but it is not yet in the app. If you're using a touch-enabled device you can move around the image using your fingers.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Simply press the "shift" key and use the pen to drag the canvas around. I have mapped the shift key to one of the Cintiq 16 short cut keys because I don't like using the keyboard. The 8 mappable buttons are amazing and very handy for all kinds of shortcuts that make drawing much faster, undo is super handy.

Hi guys. You can do it using the space bottom from de keyboard. Just hold on it. Bless

Hi finally I discovered it!!!
Really simple, you just need to choose shapes, than grab anywhere besides the marked shape and than you can pan like no big deal.

I hope I helped

Thanks. Yeah I eventually figured it out by accident. It was remarkably
hard to find instructions for this particular need.

Using Windows 10 on Desktop with Logitech mouse. Fresco version 2.0.1

Mouse scroll wheel zooms -- albeit slowly. I have not tried to adjust the zoom speed.

As someone else suggested, holding the space bar allows panning -- even though the hand cursor did not appear.

This is really upsetting that the new update to Fresco did not solve this problem. Why should it just be exclusive to designers with touch screens? We all pay good money to have the creative suite and expect it to function correctly. Really disappointed.

Spacebar + stylus/finger should allow you to pan. Does that work?

Sue,

I'm so sorry for my previous message. After further looking into it I was able to get it to work. I do have a problem with slowness however, and am working on a machine that should be more than cabable of handling it: 32gb ram, 1tb hard drive, gtx 2080, 6 core processor.

Any ideas why that might be happening?

Best,

Nick

Hello,

Pan is using the spacebar keyboard shortcut which you can set up as an express key on the wacom, and you can use other moving tools like "rotae" all the keyboard shortcuts are listed under "app settings" > "help" where you can see touch shortcuts paraameters, Keyboard shorts (cannot be changing as of today) and have a list of all the avaiable gestures for Ipad/tablets users.

For windows users: Be sure "windows Ink" us enabled in your graphic tablet settings.

Hope it helps!

I found a way to pan. You have to use the move tool but drag from outside the rectangle and it will pan. Discovered by mistake. It was clearly not their intention.

Thanks for posting this, it's a good workaround. Panning really is a necessary feature and I'd love to see it added soon.

You simply cannot do so at this time. I have a Wacom tablet, the Intuos Pro, which is also great for Fresco but one cannot pan at all with it. Too bad. It essentially renders the program useless for a number of tasks.

What tasks is it useful for? I can't understand how this isn't a tool. I can zoom in to do detail work, but only on part of the image. I can't zoom in on any other part of the image?
