Need Help Pen stylus In flexi

[Medina Signs]

I think I have carpal problems from being on the mouse so much.

Does Anyone Use A Stylus To Design Signs In Flexi?

A stylus will help you no matter what program you are using. I had wrist pain from using a mouse all day long and switched to a Wacom about 8 years ago. I will never again use a mouse. I cannot comment on the abilities of pressure, angle and other design features in Flexi though. I can work twice as fast tracing artwork using a tablet over a mouse

I bought a surface book to do all my tracing. Love it.

While I don't use Flexi, I'm a huge fan of the Cintiqs. Doesn't matter if I'm doing sketching in Ai or digitizing in Wilcom, they really make things a whole lot easier and in my opinion, a whole lot more natural.

I used to start on paper with my sketches, now I really do everything digitally because of the Cintiq and what it's able to do. Just my thoughts on it.

Thanks for your comments - bought a Wacom. By the time I learned my way around the pain went away and I'm back to the mouse. Tried the stylus again after my arm stopped aching and was able to use it but I don't sketch with Flexi, as it is not actually a drawing program per se. For me it is more cumbersome than the mouse. I don't design in the field, but if I did, a stylus on an I-Pad would probably work well. Other than that a quick hand drawing with pen and notepad work just as well and are faster. Old School.

Thanks again
