Wacom Tablet Issue in Manga Studio 5 and Clip Studio: A Fix for Rotating and Drawing Issues
If you're a digital artist using Manga Studio 5 or Clip Studio with a Wacom tablet, you may have encountered a frustrating issue: only the left button works when rotating, and the right button is unresponsive. This can lead to unexpected behavior, shifting, and even affect your drawing experience. Moreover, when drawing, you might notice that the line tends to connect to the last point drawn, making it difficult to achieve the desired shape.
The Default Behavior and Visual Indicator
By default, only the left button is functional when rotating, while the right button does not respond. You can check the tablet's indicator light to see which button is active; in this case, only the left button's light will be on.
Adjusting Wacom Tablet Properties for a Solution
Fortunately, there's a simple solution to this problem. To fix the issue, follow these steps:
- Go to Wacom tablet properties
- Navigate to the "Functions" section (not the "Pen" section)
- Make adjustments specifically for the Intuos 5 tablet
Fixing the Drawing Ship Line Issue
To resolve the issue of the line connecting to the last point drawn, you'll need to make a change to the touch ring settings. Here's what to do:
- We will be making a change to the touch ring settings
- Specifically, we will be changing the default setting of "Rotate" to "Keystroke"
- In the "Keystroke" field, we will enter a hyphen (minus sign)
- For the "R" key, we will enter a single quote (')
- The single quote is typically located on most keyboards between the semicolon (;) and Enter keys
Rotating with Clip Studio Pro and Wacom Intuos 5
Once you've made these adjustments, you'll be able to rotate with more precision and control. Here's a tip to help you achieve smooth transitions between rotations:
- The rotate ring can be adjusted to rotate in small increments, allowing for more precise control
- To do this, rotate the ring quickly and close it up in an hour in clips, allowing for smooth transitions between rotations
- This can be done by rotating to the right, then to the left, and repeating this process
- The default rotation amount is not bad, but it can be adjusted to suit individual preferences
- No specific number of degrees was mentioned, but the default setting provides a good starting point
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issues with rotating and drawing using your Wacom Intuos 5 tablet with Manga Studio 5 or Clip Studio. With these adjustments, you'll be able to work more efficiently and achieve the desired results in your digital artwork.
