Learn how to fix crash and performance issues related to your Wacom device.

Are you experiencing any of the following issues while using your Wacom tablet in Illustrator? 

  • Illustrator crashes during or after launch when using a mouse, stylus, tablet device, or others.
  • The pressure sensitivity does not work accurately while using a Wacom stylus.
  • Illustrator becomes unresponsive when you're using a Wacom stylus.
  • Issues when working on an Illustrator document with Wacom Cintiq. The cursor disappears as Wacom Cintiq becomes the secondary display screen.

The above issues may occur due to outdated Wacom drivers or if you do not have any Wacom device currently attached to your computer. Try updating or uninstalling old or unused device drivers to fix the issue.

Before you proceed

If Illustrator detects that your previous session crashed due to an issue with the Wacom device, it automatically disables your Wacom next time when you open the app.
Follow the below steps to enable Wacom devices:

macOS

  1. Choose Illustrator > Preferences > Devices. 
  2. Select the Enable Wacom check box.

Windows

  1. Choose Edit > Preferences > Devices. 
  2. Select the Enable Wacom check box.

Update Wacom driver

  1. Ensure that you have the latest Wacom drivers installed on your computer. To get the latest Wacom drivers, visit the Wacom support site.
  2. If the issue persists with the latest Wacom drivers, uninstall Wacom from your computer, including Wacom touch driver and Pen Tablet driver. For help with uninstallation, refer to the Wacom support site.
  3. [macOS] In a new Finder window, click Go > Go to Folder > type /Library/Frameworks > click Go. If you find WacomMultiTouch.framework, delete it.
  4. Reinstall the latest Wacom drivers for your computer from the Wacom support site.

Uninstall Wacom driver

  1. If you are not using a Wacom device, uninstall the drivers associated with the device. See your Wacom product documentation information on how to uninstall the device drivers from macOS or Windows.
  2. Launch Illustrator.

Other Performance issues

[macOS 10.15 (Catalina) only] Eraser tool does not work

Is your Eraser functionality not working when you draw a shape using the Wacom pen and then flip the pen to use the Eraser tool? 

  1. Open the macOS privacy settings and enable Illustrator's access on the tablet driver.
  2. Restart Illustrator.

Pressure options for brush not available

Are the pressure-sensitive options grayed out in the Brush Options dialog?

Pressure Options
Example: Calligraphic Brush Options

Install the latest Wacom driver and perform the following steps:

  1. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
  2. Click the Privacy tab, select Accessibility, and click the lock icon at the bottom of the dialog box. 
  3. In the Allow the apps below to control your computer list, select the check boxes for Wacom component and known listed applications are selected.
