Pen motion not recognised on Surface Pro 3
By: JoshB Date: April 11, 2016, 1:06 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to use Tablet Pro to navigate inside Blender using
'Artist Pad' by assigning a touch key to 'Alt + Middle Click' so
that I can press the touch key and wave my Surface Pro 3 pen
across the screen to move the view. It doesn't recognise that
the pen is hovering above the screen though, but it works when i
move the mouse around. I've turned on all the 'use touch and pen
simultaneously' settings where i can find them. Any ideas?

JoshB,
I have SP3 as well. I find that hover modes with the pen are
only detected when the pen has touched the screen once and or
you are close enough to get the circular cross hair. Then you
can hover the pen from the screen about 0.5 cm (at ~ 1cm the pen
looses detection with the display). You can then press the
TabletPro hotkey to initiate middle click + alt.
IF you touch the TabletPro Artist pad key first and then bring
the pen into range of the display the pen will not initialize,
As windows has taken the touch as the primary interface cursor.
You will have to release the Artist pad key so the pen will
initialize the cursor and then you will be able to press the
key.
Do you find this happens?

thanks for the reply Julian!
I've tried your technique and no such luck I'm afraid :( I put
the pen very close to the screen and then pressed the Tablet Pro
shortcut button and nothing happened. I tested the other buttons
(the Ctrl and Shift shortcuts) and they functioned normally, I
was able to hold them while hovering the pen over the screen and
the object I was moving around was affected, so the pen is
definitely being recognised as a cursor before it's in range.

joshb,
How have you got the key set up in tablet pro?
are you able to send screen shot?
i'm just about to install blender and experiment with real mouse
keyboard and then replicate function in tabletpro.
Just installed Blender and...
Control + Middle Click = Zoom
Shift + Middle Click = Pan
Middle click = Orbit.
Alt + Middle Click = ???

I had a look and i'd used Alt instead on Shift for the 'move'
function, i set it back to default and then tried different
combinations on differt Tablet Pro buttons but same issue as
before :(

JoshB,
I believe you have to use, Frame with Mdrag for the function to
work.

Frame means you will not use the pen,
where as Middle Mouse plus shift = use pen in hover mode.

Thanks Julian, that's very helpful, the implementation works,
but will take some getting used to, thanks so much for your
help.
Hopefully they will update Tablet Pro to enable pen + shortcuts

JoshB,
Both implementations work. Frame(M-Drag) touch finger only as
well as middle mouse + shift and pen. As demo in video above.
Are you able to show what mode you were trying to use?

Here are the two types of setup l have for the buttons. As far
as I can see they have the same set up as you demo'd in the
video.
the (Frame) one works but the pen one doesn't do anything.
I tested the middle-click button (not the Frame one) on a
webpage and it only worked after I took the pen away from the
screen, then the scroll arrows came up, when I put the pen back
near the Screen, the scroll arrows stopped showing up.
