Turn off gestures

Is there a way to turn off all of the gestures? I cannot make a drawing without Fresco making unwanted changes. I know it's trying to be helpful, but until I get used to how Fresco differs from Sketch/Draw, I don't want the gestures.

    I don't think there is a way to turn them off. It would possibly be helpful to learn the gestures, so you know what to try and avoid doing. I find I'm safest when using the pencil, or I also do unwanted things when fingers touch the screen.

    I'm having the same problem. I don't have a problem learning/using the gestures, but the Undo gesture is just not working. Well, it IS working, but I think the palm rejection is just not up to par. I wouldnt mind having the gesute available, but when it undoes the last thing I drew every time I reposition my hand/wrist.... it gets very old. 

     

    @sue_garibaldi - where is the user voice for this app? I'm happy to report things properly, but I can't seem to find the right place to do it. Maybe provide links to resources when they are mentiond? That would be super helpful!

    I couldn't agree more. I zoom in after sketching some detail and then when my hand lays on the tablet the undo goes in rapid succession and then I have to redo several of my strokes. I do not like the undo gestures.

      Hi David. 

       

      No, I'm sorry, it's not possible to turn off gestures. Is there one that's particularly troublesome? Or do you not like any of them?

       

      If turning off gestures is a feature you'd like to see in the app please post it on User Voice; they are compiled there so the team can see what's most important to the greatest number of people. You can access that site from an open drawing by tapping the ? icon in the upper nav then from the menu Suggest A Feature.

       

      Please let me know which gesture is most troublesome. 

       

      Sue.

      I think it's the UNDO gesture. When I put my hand on the tablet surface to draw, it often triggers an UNDO. It would be ideal--I think-- if you could turn all the gestures off so that you could add them as you learn them. Just writing with a "pencil" on a piece of glass takes a bit of getting used to.

        Yeah, the undo gesture is very irritating. Every time I rest my hand on the screen while drawing it undo something.
