To be honest, we’ve never had this request… and I think this is the first time someone was able to clearly identify the cause of this type of pressure loss… usually, it is just ‘SBP doesn’t have pressure sensitivity, but Painter does’.  So, this is definitely good to know.  We will look into this, but can’t comment on whether this is something we’ll address in the near future.  If anyone else wants to chime in about ‘mouse’ mode, please do.  I use a Cintiq, so don’t ever see that option.

You know, the only real reason I bring up ‘mouse’ mode is because my first tablet was a wacom graphire that was something like 5x4 recognizable area and I had a massive widescreen monitor. So...the slightest movement in pen mode would give me a much larger line on screen. So, switching to mouse mode makes it much more manageable when you have a smaller tablet but especially that combined with a large screen.

I’ve always kinda liked the little Tablets… for certain things.  For sure, when working with wide screen, but also when i need to switch between different machines.

Hi guys, I hopping into the conversation late but found something that might be relevant.

I had just gotten Sketchbook Pro 2010, and was having the pressure problems as well. I discovered that like Chadwick17, if the “Tablet PC Input Service” was running, SbP would not detect pressure. If the service was stopped before launching SbP, then pen pressure worked.

It is queer though, because if the service was immediately restarted after SbP was already running, SbP will continue to detect pen pressure correctly. However, if the service was running, SbP started, the service then stopped, there is no change- pen pressure still fails.

It seems there is some sort of erroneous communication between SbP and the OS when SbP is initialized while the service is running

“Tablet PC Input Service” enables the writing pad as seen here

I’m running Windows 7 with Wacom drivers 5.1.1-1 on a Thinkpad X200 tablet PC

Funny (or not)I pretty much do all my drawing on my xp tablet. I have just had cause to use my windows 7 machine (Latest drivers) and can’t seem to get pressure to work and can’t even stop the Tablet imput services -W7 won’t let me. Anyone have any hints as how I can stop the service?

hey

@vonstroodl
yep you re right, there is some erroneous communication between SbP and the OS

@squeakydave
if you using Windows 7 RC

you could try this,
i tried it and now got all pen pressure correctly

windows 7 RC allow us turn off features of window

1 - Control Panel - Programs and Features
2 - in the dialog window - left side - Turn Windows features on or off
3 - turn off Tablet PC Components
4 - restart PC

now SBP will work perfect, no offset problem.
