hey, i searched the forum and YT aand could not find a solution. 

i have to draw a lot shapes with a combination of Blob and Eraser tool and would love to utilise my Wacom Int pro. In photoshop, i can aesily adjust the pen size, in illustrator it seems impossible (except in the designated Brush tool Options box -whis is tedious as f... cause it will not stay open) 

The Touchring is not working, setting values in the brush options to pressure (or other choices)  isnt doint anything either. 

has anyone a suggestion? (german keyboard)

Correct answer Monika Gause

i tried, its the same key on my keyboard, so it would be < and shift>, nothing happens. 😕😕


And it's German Illustrator on German system/keyboard? 

Because if you mix system, keyboard and app language, the keys fall apart.

There's acurrently an incompatibility with the current Wacomn driver and the current Illustrator going on, which might poossibly affect this.

Which version of Illustrator, which system is this?

I haven't used a Wacom in a long time and the only thing I know is that currently everything is wonky with their driver. 

 

What you could try is deactivate Windows Ink.
