Does illustrator cs support wacom tablets?

Question

I can use it fine with photoshop, and found out how to activate the wacom pressure sensitivity/angle feature. But with illustrator, it doesn't seem to register my strokes using the brush tool.Does anyone know how to make illustrator cs5+ responsive to a wacom tablet?

Answer 1

Check the Brushes panel, and open the Brushes Library icon in the bottom left panel. I don't have a Wacom installed on my machine (I used to on my old one) and I'm running CC 2020, but I see a "Wacom 6D Brushes" option, I would guess those brushes are pressure sensitive.

If not, you can always define the brushes to be pressure sensitive. Doubleclick the brush you want and in the new dialog that pops up, you should see attributes like Angle, Roundness, and Size, each with a dropdown next to them. There should be a Pressure option in that dropdown. Select it, press OK, and give that a go! Hope that helps!
