I as able to edit the text of the config file and get that to register changes in PenTabletSetting when importing the file. Seems it’s not actually exporting the settings as it should. I dug into it a little bit: compared configuration files exported from default settings in GUI to a file I exported after changing some settings. I sat down to paint this morning and tried to load a configuration file I had “exported” earlier, only to find that it did not restore any of my settings. System (Windows/Linux/Mac/Android, + version): macOS 10.14.4ĭescription of the issue (you can include screenshots):Īnyone have trouble with getting XP-PEN products to save their settings using the “PenTabletSetting” application on Mac? I wish you luck, I really do.Type of device (graphics tablet/display tablet/2-in-1 laptop/Android tablet): graphics tabletīrand and version of the device: XP-PEN Deco 01 V2 (may be relevant to other XP-PEN tablets) Until you understand what the stylus actually does and gives, in terms of its outputs, then it will be difficult to design/modify a brush preset to properly make use of it in a predictable way. If the stylus is vertical then small wobbles would give a large change in direction and that may be what is happening there, assuming it is giving an output related to direction. You could raise that topic as a suggested improvement. It would be useful to be able to see the tilt related values in the same way that you can directly see the pressure input values and the tablet/stylus button actions in the tablet tester. As for the internal input range of -30 to +30 degrees for those control inputs, that does seem to suggest that a range of 60 degrees is some kind of standard expectation, maybe as +/- 30 around a ‘neutral’ position? Again, you’d need a developer to explain the details. You’d need a developer to explain that to you.

I’ve no idea where X tilt and Y tilt come from but they could be derived from elevation and direction values.

I’d have thought that the manufacturer should be able to tell you the details, at least about what it was supposed to do. Understanding what the stylus is giving you, in detail, is definitely a confusing task. At the moment, it’s not clear if your stylus produces a tilt direction output or a tilt elevation output (or both?) Then have tilt direction control brush rotation and see how far you can vary it. You do that by turning off all control inputs except for having tilt elevation control brush rotation and seeing how far you can vary it. You need to examine the tilt output(s) from your stylus by isolating the elevation from the direction. I assume you’ll get an input value (from the stylus) of 90 - 30 at the most and you should see some size variation with tilt elevation using the c) Pencil-5 Tilted brush preset with default settings.

The standard transfer curve for tilt elevation is a straight line with input 90-0 degrees and an output of 0-100 %. I’ve never used a tilt sensitive stylus so I don’t know what they’re supposed to do (in detail).

What happens to the brush outline if you vary the tilt elevation? i.e, if you have it almost laying flat on the tabet varying up to standing vertically on the tablet? In your video, you were varying tilt direction (I assume you were keeping tilt elevation more or less constant) and so the rotation of the brush tip was varying, as might be expected.įrom what I saw in your video, it does produce a varying output for tilt direction, but over a very limited range and with a step transition in the output. If you’re using c) Pencil-5 Tilted with the default settings, its size is controlled by tilt elevation and its rotation is controlled by tilt direction.
