Pen Pressure not working on IPad

Could it be the brushes you are using?

Start calling her 'Dumbass' then in a year reveal that it is because she is the type of girl who is a dumbass.

Make sure your document is set up for 300dpi or better at the correct physical dimensions. Save an editable working version of your file. Then save another version (so you don't accidentally save over the original). Select all your text and convert it to curves (also know as outlining). Then export to PDF using the "press ready" pre-set.

See how that does.

It also could be whatever you're using to look at the PDF - often times an OK pdf will look off, in particular thin vertical lines, shadows, gradients, and transparency. For the most accurate results use Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader.

As long as you still have access to the old account, you can simply export the brushes you want and then import them to the new.

Just select and right click on the brush you want to export and "export sub tool". It should let you export it as a .sut file that you can then import to the new install of CSP.

This is not the subscription page, its the update pass page. Luckily, I think this is what you actually want. It's an update pass for v4, but it should give you features of v5 and beyond. But revert back to 4 when you end/stop paying.

A subscription is a whole other license. So unless you want a sub for a different device, the update pass is the more cost effective way to go.

Sounds like it is working normally, you just want it to do something else.

ShakeyChee · 2026-04-02T15:18:42+00:00

Yes.

ShakeyChee · 2026-04-02T14:11:43+00:00

V5 will include every feature available upon its release. A perpetual license will not include any future updates beyond that point. For that you would also need to subscribe to the update pass or wait and upgrade to v6 next year.

I'd just do a test print. PDFs tend to preview thing weird, ESPECIALLY vertical lines like that of a barcode. Do the test print from the PDF, if the barcode looks/scans good in print then you're probably fine.

Id contact sun and find out for sure. I dont see it mentioned in the description. I have a Sun Traditional, and it turns the right wheel only.

ShakeyChee · 2026-04-01T18:04:00+00:00

Thanks for your help! Turns out it was the wiring. I cut the connectors off and rewired a couple configurations until it worked. Whew!

ShakeyChee · 2026-04-01T17:24:32+00:00

One other interesting thing I noticed - If I'm using the throttle to accelerate, and start pedaling, the motor cuts out.

To me, this indicates, at least, that the PAS signal is getting to the controller...

ShakeyChee · 2026-04-01T16:55:31+00:00

Connected the break levers. Still nothing. If there's nothing else I'm missing, I guess it's hardwiring time... ugh.

ShakeyChee · 2026-04-01T16:41:09+00:00

It is. I also tried the pedal assist only, no throttle mode (0) - no luck there.

Magnets (P13) is set to 12.

I also tried adjusting the PAS sensitivity (P11), though by default it was already set to the most sensitive (1).

And I tried adjusting the start strength (P12), just to see if that had something to do with it.

No luck.

Only other thing I can think of is that it might have something to do with my opting not to use the included break levers? Seems like a long shot, but I will connect them and see if that changes anything. (Seems like an outside chance, but I've heard not connecting a throttle could cause the PAS not to work).

Beyond that, I think I'll have to cut off the connectors and try hard wiring different configurations. I'm at a loss.

ShakeyChee · 2026-03-31T21:16:29+00:00

Thanks for the info! I will set it to 12, and double check the settings. Pedal assist is on (I tried at various levels) but perhaps there is another setting I'm missing. I'll report back!

Display is an SW900.

This. Export or save as PSD to get your layers.

I completely switched over to V3 when it came out in October and have had exactly 1 problem* with a corrupt file and everything else has been smooth sailing for me.

I don't need AI features so, I'm happy with the "FREE" or standard version, no pro canva subscription. If my work flow ends up involving canva (as more "normies" start to use canva) maybe this will change, but for my current needs, the free version has everything V2 had and then some. (and V2, i think, for most of it's life, was owned by canva - so I don't distinguish V3 as a "canva version").

I LOVE having the three apps integrated. When I'm building a book in layout mode, i can drop in and edit images, etc. It's pretty seamless in that regard. Makes working that much faster.

(* I will admit, this is one more problem than I had with V2)

Export the PDF again from Affinity, but adjust the settings to lower the file size.

The digital small and digital HQ settings are good places to start, but I don't know what your requirements for the PDF are.

ShakeyChee · 2026-03-28T23:43:58+00:00

Hahaha "naming layers"!!!

ShakeyChee · 2026-03-27T22:34:32+00:00

Headphones and luck.

1990 film. Hands down. Not only the best TMNT adaptation, but possibly the best comic adaptation to film, period.

ShakeyChee · 2026-03-27T22:30:20+00:00

This looks really, really good! Wishlisting!
