IPad - Tools on Left side of screen possible?
on: December 13, 2023, 02:33:00 AM
I’d like to be able to use my left hand to select between pencil and eraser tools while using the Apple Pencil in my right hand to draw.
I’m able to do this using custom added tools buttons to the top bar of the screen, which is nice, but is there a way to make that bar display on the left side of the screen, or something similar?  Selecting at the top of the screen is more cumbersome than the left side of the screen.
Thanks.

open the menu (three bar icon in upper left) click Artstudio > Preferences > Interface > left hand mode. It is the first option in the second section.

That just puts the options for the current tool on the left side of the screen.  I’m hoping to be able to switch between tools on the left side of the screen, too.  Currently switching to a new tool is done at the top of the screen.

I setup my quick menu as my apple pencil double tap option and then assign all my most used tools/functions in the quick menu. Then I just double tap my apple pencil and I can quickly change tools without having to move to the edges of the screen to make changes. :)
