Making Wacom tablet work

[Zarquan314]

When I'm grading, I like to hand write notes on student papers using a Wacom drawing tablet.  Unfortunately, I can't do that using the free-draw tool, as it does not treat my drawing tablet like a mouse properly. 

Is there a way I can use my drawing tablet on the built in PDF editor?

You're not the only Community member with this question!

How do you get speedgrader pen to work with a touchscreen or external tablet pen? 

I think this Feature Idea would help make the Wacom tablet more responsive, but I'm not 100% sure about that.  Improved Windows Tablet functionality for annotati... - Instructure Community  If it aligns, please add to the discussion. If not, feel free to create your own idea! I'm sure other Canvas users would enjoy the flexibility too.

So there does not appear to be an existing solution to this problem within the SpeedGrader?  I guess I should download the papers then.

@Zarquan314 - You're correct. Unfortunately, there's not a set of steps that would allow you to maximize the Wacom tablet with SpeedGrader. I hope that this support becomes available in the future.
