To provide a more natural, expressive annotation experience, forScore increases the width of your markings based on several factors. Touch drawing will remain enabled until the next time you touch the screen with Apple Pencil. If your Pencil is out of reach or out of power, tap the hand icon in the center of the annotation control toolbar to re-enable touch drawing. Instead, forScore disables drawing if Apple Pencil has touched the screen at any point within the last 15 minutes. With forScore 10.5 this setting was changed to no longer depend on how annotation mode is activated. This is intended to allow you to annotate with your finger even when Apple Pencil is connected but out of reach. If you activate annotation mode using any other method, like the default tap and hold gesture, forScore will recognize finger input as it normally does. If you’re using forScore versions 10.0-10.4.9, this setting only applies when you’ve entered annotation mode by touching the Pencil to the page (see Live Annotations above). Version 10.0 introduced a setting called “prevent finger drawing” that allows you to use your fingers to do things like change tools or zoom in on the page, but only allows Apple Pencil to draw or place stamps and shapes. As long as Apple Pencil is near the screen, annotation remains active and your changes are not saved until you move the pencil tip farther away. On iPads that support Apple Pencil hover detection, forScore also uses proximity to determine when you’re finished annotating. This setting’s options are “short” (a very quick delay), “long” (a slightly longer pause), or “never” (annotation mode stays active until you explicitly save or cancel your changes, annotation controls appear normally). This setting allows you to start drawing with Apple Pencil, but does not show the annotation toolbar and automatically saves your work and returns to the normal viewing mode after a delay. Version 10.1 added another setting, called “automatically exit annotation mode” that works in conjunction with the “automatically enter annotation mode” option. Or, if you prefer, simply set a default drawing tool that will always be active every time you start annotating. With forScore 9.4 or newer, additional settings allow you to control how this works: check and uncheck tool types to either allow them to be saved between annotation sessions or not. Use the “automatically enter annotation mode” option in the Apple Pencil section of forScore’s settings panel to toggle this behavior.īecause forScore remembers which drawing preset or tool you were using the last time you annotated, and because Live Annotation starts immediately, it can get confusing to keep track of exactly what will happen when you begin drawing with Apple Pencil. Version 9.3 added the ability to annotate by simply drawing on the page with Apple Pencil (removing the need to activate annotation mode first). The features and settings described below apply to all three styluses, except where noted. Apple also worked with Logitech to create the Crayon stylus which is, in Apple’s words, “built using Apple Pencil technology” and functions similarly. The upgraded stylus works with iPad Pro models made since that time, as well as the latest iPad Air and iPad mini.Apple Pencil is great for annotating and more, and we’ve optimized forScore to give you the best possible performance while also providing a number of highly customizable settings to ensure that every user can work as naturally as possible.Īs of November 2018, Apple has released two versions of Apple Pencil, each compatible with different iPad models. In 2018, the second-gen Apple Pencil came out. The original Apple Pencil debuted in 2015, and it works with some basic iPad and iPad mini models, as well as older iPad Pro versions. Or, if you have an older iPad, it might not be compatible with any Apple stylus. There are two models, and each works with one group of iPads but not the other. If the Apple Pencil is new (or new to you) and it won’t work with your iPad, that could be because it’s incompatible.
