Inkscape in Windows 8.1 with a Wacom graphics tablet

Postby Eric471 » Wed Sep 03, 2014 3:09 pm

Hi,
Do you know of any issues with using a Wacom graphics tablet with Inkscape in Windows 8.1 (64 bit) ?

I thinking of getting a Wacom Intuos (the newer ones that used to be the Bamboo range) to use with inkscape (lastest version) in Windows.
Do you know if they are compatible?

Many thanks.

Hi Eric471,

Here I use a Wacom Bamboo pen & touch, which is 2 or 3 years old, CTH-470. It works fine for me, under Inkscape, with Windows 8.1 64 Bits.
I have recently changed the keys on the tablet pen into Shift and Ctrl and that works really nicely. There is a good tool with the tablet to make it work exactly like you want to. It took me some time to get used to it, but now I don't want to draw without it.
Inkscape 0.91 and 0.92.4. Writing a course about this beautiful program.
