Sketch zooms out, when trying to use Wacoom Bamboo in Windows

Anonymous — Sat, 04 May 2019 13:21:40 GMT

I found a Wacom Bamboo and set it up with my Laptop. I installed the Bamboo App and redefined some of buttons. It works perfectly fine in the Excersices and in Windows Paint, but as soon as I try to create a Sketch in Fusion 360 it ooms out Incredible far, although the pen just hovers over the tablet. I have looked on the Internet and on YouTube but found Nothing. Do I have to set something up in Fusion 360 or do something else?

Thank you for quick answers!

Best regards

HI @Anonymous ,

I think it is zooming out really far because of the dimensions of your sketch. That sketch has an edge length of like 9E6 which is much larger than the normal grid spacing - causing it to zoom out.

Why is your rectangle so large?

Thanks,

Thankds for the quick answer. I am sorry that the Picture was a bit misleading. I first drew a rectangle with normal dimesnsions like 20x20mm, just to have some sort of comparison to what hapens when I try to use the pencil to draw something with similar size. So actually the Sketch was in like Standard zoom, but as soon as I put the pencil over the graphic tablet, it zooms out, although I didnt tipe in any numbers or something similar.

I hope I didnt confuse you 🙂

Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Ah understood! Can you try this and see if it makes it better. Click your name in the top-right corner of Fusion and select Preferences. Under Design - can you disable "Auto Look at Sketch".

Does this help or does it still zoom out?

Thanks,

sounds like a good idea, but it doesent seem to work. I just tried and noticed, that it not only zooms out by Sketches but it is also zooms out by models. My guess is that you have to tell either Fusion or the Wacom tablet to Change something.

Do you know, wether the Wacom bamboo actually works with Fusion? I know they advertise Wacom with Fusion but in the Videos the use later Version or later models.

Thanks
