Disable finger touch input on Illustrator and Adobe Draw

Is there a way to disable finger to screen input on illustrator? I have a stylus, and with other drawing software, you can set it so that your hand doesn’t draw on the screen, only your stylus, so you can rest your hand on the screen when you draw. Is there a comparable setting in illustrator?

It's there. In the App Settings.

Monika probably means Photoshop. Photoshop has all the features we need in Illustrator, like disable finger input, rotate canvas and roatate with device orientation so we can draw in portrait mode... but the AI devs don't consider anybody actually wanting to draw with Illustrator.

No. Monika doesn't mean Photoshop. Monika means Illustrator on the iPad, because this sub-thread is talking about Illustrator on the iPad.

Hi Jones,

Thanks for reaching out. As Monika said, we are not sure if you are talking about Adobe Illustrator (Desktop app) or Adobe Draw (Mobile app), however, we do not have this setting in any of these applications.

This definitely sounds like a good feature hence I will forward this to our product team and you can do that too by sharing it here https://illustrator.uservoice.com/

For Adobe Draw, there is an option to share feedback under the main menu (three lines on top left corner of the screen).
