Hello

I have a Wacom tablet and it has pressure sensitivity, it works fine in Photoshop and other applications but what do I have to do to get it working in Illustrator? I have used different brushes but they don't work. When I had this installed in Windows Illustrator just did it automatically so I'm not sure what to do.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

In the brush options dialog box, you can set the diameter, roundness or angle to pressure or tilt to work with your stylus.

Here's a good video explaining:

Where it says pressure it's greyed out for me. Do I need to do a set up first? I've installed the wacom software.

You need to be using the stylus on the tablet and you should be able to make the selection. If not, try resetting your Illustrator preferences.

Thanks I went to the wacom site and downoaded the lastest driver and it sorted it out. I've only have the tablet for a month.
