This post is like a quick tip, but it focuses on helpful Illustrator features. Did you know, if you have a Wacom tablet, you can flip the pen over and Illustrator will automatically switch to the Eraser tool. It’s a cool little feature that can make drawing in Illustrator a little more natural. Remember, you can also set your Eraser tool to use your pen tablet pressure sensitivity.
hahahaha workin perfect
I have CS3 and a wacom intuos 4 on loan from my school and when I use their computers the eraser function works however when I use mine the tablet reads the eraser as continued use of the pen. What should I do?
I dont know how to integrate the working process in AI vector drawing with wacom drawing pen, i usually just use my mouse to draw the vector objects
I have intous3, just a fantastic inferface to work, design and draw đŸ™‚
Even though my daughter uses Illustrator, she has no ideas about this tool. I shall tell her to get one, especially if it decreases the working time on graphics.
Always a neat tip Ryan. I got my intuos4 L in the post a few weeks back and am LOVING it. Wacom have also made me one of their European Wacom “Evangelists” and I’ll be hosting a 48 hour wacom live draw event in N.Ireland later this month. I’ll make sure to post the results in the flickr group
I bought my Wacom Tablet a couple of months ago, and after a couple weeks of getting used to it I actually sub-consciously flipped the pen around to erase something in Photoshop. I then realise the pen had this function, and it’s helped ever since!
Haha! Happened to me, too. Sub-consciously flipped it and discovered the eraser.
