Topogun Wacom pen 'lag'.

OccultMonk

I know Topogun hasn't really been in development for a few years and there is no longer support.  I recently started using it again and noticed that my Wacom tablet pen has a bit of a problem with certain tools. It's not so much 'lag' as it is a sort of threshold before the 'move' starts. (Steady mouse is off and the wacom works perfectly in other applications).

When I drag a vertex with the mouse it moves instantly. But when I drag a vertex with the wacom pen it only starts moving after a short distance from the original point (About 0.3-0.5 CM on screen) . The vertex sort of suddenly snaps to the current pointer location but then afterwards moves fluently. If I move the cursor within the 0.3-0.5 CM treshold the vertex stays in the orginal spot. It's extremely annoying to use the tablet. This happens in both the Edit (move vertex) and Brush (Move) tools. 

Is there a setting I missed that causes this?

I don't know about topogun settings, but the wacom driver for some operational systems has a minimum pressure setting. The pen click isn't considered valid until you apply that amount of pressure, and if set too high that's quite noticeable in some tools. It's worth taking a look.

OccultMonk

Thanks.  The pressure does not matter, only the (same) distance traveled from the original vertex location.

have you tried to use compatibility for pressure levels?

If anything and assuming that you are using Topogun3, it could be worth giving Topogun2 a try to check if it also exhibits the issue. It's always been rock solid and has pretty much everything one may need anyways.

@myclay Thanks, I tried it but it does not make a difference. I even tried to use the pen in hover mode a use a click of the bottom, but the behavior is the same. Somewhere in Topogun there seems to be a treshold.



@pior  I use Topogun 3 for the patches feature.

Is there someone who has Topogun 3 and a (Wacom) tablet that can verify this behavior in The Edit (Move) and the Brush (Move) tools?

I'm using an older Intuos 3 and get a lazy start when Windows Ink is enabled in Tablet Properties.

Try disabling Windows Ink for Topogun — for me, it's too sensitive, so I prefer using a mouse.

@2busychild Thanks! You are right, it works with windows Ink turned off in Wacom properties. You can create an application preset for Topogun to turn it off.

Does anyone know if it is possible to set the 'distance tolerance' Togun? I mean how close your cursor has to be before the vertex/Edge/Polygon turns red?
