Using pressure-sensitive pens and devices

The following tools in CorelDRAW let you use the pressure of your pressure-sensitive pen, stylus, or other device: Artistic Media Pressure, Eraser, Smear, Twirl, Attract, Repel, Roughen, and Smudge.

When you use a pressure-sensitive stylus or pen tablet with CorelDRAW, the amount of pressure that you apply controls the width of your strokes. Each person uses a different strength or pressure level in a stroke, and you can set the application to match your stroke strength by specifying pen settings. Proper pen settings are particularly useful if you have a light touch. If a light stroke leaves no trace, adjusting pen settings can increase sensitivity for specific tools. Abrupt changes in the width your brushstrokes shows that you need to adjust your pen settings on the Pen Settings page in the Options dialog box. Pen settings can be saved as presets to use later.

In addition, you can take full advantage of the pressure and tilt of your RTS-compatible pen tablet or device to control your brushstrokes. CorelDRAW includes support for the Real-Time Stylus (RTS) interface, which was introduced with Windows 7. If you have a Wacom-compatible graphics tablet or device, you can still use the WinTab interface for optimal results.
