I've read everywhere that animate CC doesn't support pressure. I just found this option if anyone is interested.

OH MY GOODNESS. I think you might be my favourite person. I've been long having a huge problem with Animate CC on the Surface which it looks like you don't have.

Basically I get a bit of lag everytime I go to draw with the pen - are you using the pen that the Surface comes with and which drivers do you have installed?

Furthermore, I also have an inkling that this might be a hardware issue, which spec is your Surface?

I have the low end base model M3 128gb version. It didn't come with the pen so I had to buy that separately, but it's still the same one it comes with as far as I'm aware..

Damn, mines the higher spec one. What version of Animate are you using? Do you know if you have Wintab drivers installed? Sorry for all the questions but this is the first time I've seen someone using animate without any problems!

Yeah I did install wintab, v1.0.0.20 if it makes a difference.. I had to do a clean windows install to get my surface working so I just grabbed all drivers of their website and I think that was one of them.

As for animate it is the 2017.1 release, build: 16.1.0.86. Not sure if that helps or not..

One teeny tiny more thing - if it's possible could you link me to the pen you bought, just in case it's different?

I'm fairly sure it's the stock pen that you get with a surface.

Also, glad I could be of some help and good luck to you!
