You can press and hold shortcuts assigned to tools to switch to that tool only while the key is held down.

(2)Length of keypress to switch tools

Specifies the time, in milliseconds, needed to switch to a tool via keypress.

Options

(3)Minimum drag distance

This option allows you to change the distance that the cursor needs to be dragged before it is recognized as a drag action.This is useful for tools where taps and drags have different outputs, such as the Object or the Move layer tool.The smaller the value, the smaller the distance the pen or mouse must move to be interpreted as dragging.

(4)Auto-scroll at edge of canvas

Sets how the mouse cursor behaves when it leaves the canvas.When None is selected, tapping and dragging outside the canvas will not change the position of the canvas.When Drag is set, dragging outside the canvas scrolls it in the direction of the mouse cursor.When Drag with mouse is set, in addition to dragging, moving the mouse cursor outside the canvas also scrolls it in the direction of the mouse cursor.The Drag with mouse option is only available on Windows and macOS.

(5)Handle size

Sets the size of control points when Simple view & control points or Line preview & control points is set in Drawing tool > Figure tool guidelines.

The size set here also applies to control points on vector layers, frame border folders, balloon layers, and rulers, as well as handles on perspective rulers.

(6)Use fast view while navigating canvas

Puts the canvas in fast view mode when dragged with viewing tools such as the Zoom and Move tool.This reduces the required processing capacity when using a viewing tool.

Drawing tool

Brush/line

(1)Start from current size when changing brush size by dragging on canvas

When the brush size is adjusted by dragging while pressing Ctrl + Alt, the adjustment will start from its current size.

(2)Display brush size adjustment on canvas

Turn this on to preview the brush size.A circle will appear in the center of the canvas when changing the size of a brush.

(3)Reduce pen pressure when drawing with finger/mouse at the start and end of brush strokes

When you operate a brush tool with your finger or mouse, you can automatically reduce the pen pressure at the start and end of brush strokes based on the speed of the stroke.

(4)Preview lines by pressing modifier key (Shift)

You can preview straight lines created by holding Shift and tapping with a drawing tool.For tablet devices and Chromebooks, you can only preview lines if using a mouse.

(5)Use stroke preview (iPad/Galaxy)

When turned on, a stroke or cursor preview will appear temporarily when you draw.This can improve lag between the pen tip and the drawing on the screen.

This feature is only compatible with Apple Pencil on iPad and the S Pen on Galaxy.

Figure

(6)Figure tool guidelines

A simplified preview of lines appears when lines are created with the Figure tool > Direct draw sub tool group.You can change how the preview appears by selecting from Line preview, Simple view, Line preview & control points, or Simple view & control points.
