If you use a third-party graphics tablet and pen with your computer, you can use gestures to navigate within Motion and to perform tasks such as editing, copying and pasting, and so forth. Gestures are continuous, uninterrupted patterns that are drawn in the Motion user interface using your tablet and pen.
If Motion does not respond to gestures as expected, these tips may help resolve the issue:
- Confirm that you have installed the latest compatible drivers for your graphics tablet. Consult the manufacturer's website for the latest information about available drivers.
- Verify that Handwriting Recognition is enabled in Ink preferences (in System Preferences).
- If your Mac OS X startup volume has a name with more than 26 characters (including spaces), Motion might not respond to gestures as expected. Change the name of your Mac OS X disk so that has 26 or fewer characters (including spaces).
- If you have assigned a pen button as the trigger for gesture input method in Motion preferences, be sure that the same pen button does not have a function assigned to it by the tablet's software. For example, if you are using a Wacom tablet, and you wish to assign a pen button to invoke gesture input method in Motion, you should check the assignment for that pen button in Wacom Tablet preferences in System Preferences. Change the assignment to "Application Defined" or "Ignore" for that pen button in the Wacom Tablet pane to allow Motion to define the action for that button.
